Good friends

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?”

Mike replies: Wait a minute; I’m going for a piss.

The teacher says: That would be very rude and improper on your part.

Johnny replied: I’m sorry I need to go to the toilet; I’ll be back in a minute.

The teacher says: That’s much better but to mention the word “toilet” during a meal, is unpleasant.

And Charlie says: “My dear, please excuse me for a moment.  I have to go shake hands with a personal friend, whom, I hope, to be able to introduce to you after dinner. “

The teacher passed out
