Impolite Company
November 30, 2009 1 Comment
You know how people tell you that there are certain topics never to be discussed among “polite company”?
I don’t get that.
“Just remember, we never discuss combustion, or split-second decisions, in polite company. That’s the received wisdom. Avoid those issues or people will think you’re a boor.”
“Really? Those are the two forbidden topics?”
“Yes – they make people uncomfortable.”
“Dang. Because the house is on fire, and we all need to get out NOW!”
“That’s impolite!”
“OK.”

ROFL! Heads up, if we’re ever in the same room and there’s food in my teeth, something is showing that should not be, I have toilet paper stuck to my shoe or the room’s on fire, I want to know!
