During a good manners and etiquette class, the teacher says to her students, "If you were courting a well educated young girl from a prominent family and during a dinner for two you needed to go to the toilet, what would you say to her?"
Tyrone replies, "Wait a minute, I'm going for a piss." The teacher says,"That would be vulgar, very rude, and improper on your part."
Charlie replies: "I'm sorry I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a minute."
The teacher says : "That's much better but to mention the word 'bathroom' during a meal, is unpleasant."
And little Johnny says: "My dear, please excuse me for a moment. I have to go shake hands with a personal friend to whom I hope I might introduce you to after dinner. "
