Ask Miss Manners, 2020 Update

No kissing on the first date? --Nah. Go all the way. Why wait? Help the young lady put her coat on? --Why? Is she a motor moron? Pick up the tab? It's the right thing to do. --Who are you kidding? She's makes more than you. Hold the door open for the fairer sex? --I wouldn't. She's your future 'ex.' My place or hers? What would you do? --Hers, ya slob. She may have to use the loo. ************* I guess things aren't as simple as they used to be ~ When love and marriage were in flower, as they once were for me.

I still believe in manners, so I hope this is a fabricated exaggeration and not from personal experience

Things aren’t what they used to be - an amusing write Gershon, perhaps there’ll be a turnaround and the world will see a return of chivalry. Belle

Anything's possible, Belle, although I think that instead of Joe Biden kissing ladies' hands, we'll have 'bots' kissing humans' hands or some such. :)

LOL! Especially: Hold the door open for the fairer sex? --I wouldn't. She's your future 'ex.'

Once I held the door open for the 'fairer sex,' and she slammed it so hard in my face that my pacemaker shattered! (Not really... don't need a pacemaker quite yet). :) gw

You're allowed this 'boo hoo' moment, but no more. Hugs needed? You got one.

I get only one 'boo hoo moment,' Jenna? Is that company policy, or is there some wiggle room here? lol.... OK, I'll work on my 'stiff upper lip' then! (Everything else is pretty stuff; I might as well have a stiff upper lip too, I guess). Smiles, Gershon
