oh I love this because the last line can be taken as you are welcome (an example of politeness) or simply you are welcome said to the rude folks reading this! Cute.

People of a certain age can relate well to your message, Walter. Many young ones need to brush up on their manners and politeness. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you Paul! Your words are precisely true! Having manners and being polite are very valuable traits! Hopefully "young ones" will wake up to their value! Thank you Sir!

Good day Charlie! You are "absolutely" right all the way! All elders were Mr-Ms./Mrs. (last name only)! These courtesies are learned at home! Thank You Sir!
