A teacher was testing her class on proper dating etiquette. “Michael,” she asked, “if you were having a romantic dinner with a lady, how would you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom?”
“Hold on, I gotta pee,” Michael blurted.
“Grossly improper!” the teacher sighed. “Sherman, how about you?”
“I’d say: ‘Forgive me, but I need to use the restroom. I’ll be right back,'” Sherman offered.
“Better,” the teacher nodded, “but mentioning the restroom at the table is still a bit uncouth. Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us some real class?”
Johnny smiled smoothly, leaned back, and said:
“Darling, please excuse me for just a moment. I must go shake hands with a very dear, old friend of mine… whom I highly look forward to introducing you to after dinner.”
