Bathroom manners

the students: "Michael, if you were on a date,

having supper with a nice young lady, how would

you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

"Just a minute, I have to go pee."

"That would be rude and impolite! What about you

Peter, how would you say it?"

"I am sorry, but I really need to go to the

bathroom, I'll be right back."

"That's better, but it's still not very nice to

say the word bathroom at the dinner table.

And you Little Johnny, are you able to use your

intelligence for once and show us your good manners?"

"I would say: 'Darling, may I please be excused for a

moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend

of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after supper."
