NO FINGER LICKIN’
I learned table manners in “finishing” class. No, I am not kidding. I went to a southern, Protestant private school through sixth grade. All 5th grade girls took “finishing class” in which we learned posture by walking with books on our heads. We learned that our waist should be 10″ smaller than our bust and hips. And we learned both how to set a table and how to behave while sitting at the table. No really, I’m not kidding. And while I have clearly let go of the 10″-smaller-than-my-bust-and-hips lesson, I still find bad table manners offensive. This next show is looking for something a little more extreme, I suspect. Whatcha got, folks?
