Congrats to those of you who scored ringside seats around the TV table. And, since you’re often shown on screen, let’s Ms. Manners your behavior.

> Food. Don’t, just don’t. Unless you’re a runway model nibbling a celery stick …

> Drink. Fancy a beer? Fine, I might too. But, please, one at a time. Prefer a soda? Sorry, not healthy. (It is encouraging how many people have switched to water over the years.) Bonus tip — if you’re male, don’t use a straw. Real men …

> Attire, headwear division. Caps, whether worn backwards, sideways, forward … guys, take ‘em off indoors. A jaunty fedora earns a pass.

Sorry Sunny, caps at a pool tournament or indoors is a thing of the past. Taking a hat off indoors had nothing to do with manners, but it was the invading armies in Europe that by removing their helmets while inside was to demonstrate they were there for food and shelter only, and not "taking" the place or the family. If not, that meant you be in big trouble.

Personally, I think it only applies to nice restaurants, churches and a few other things. If folks can fly in shorts, we can certainly were a baseball cap to Chipotle :)
 
Fine, I’ll take my hat off next time. But don’t be complaining if the light is shining off my balding forehead right at the middle of the screen.

The soda with the straw in it was a classic capture :o

Fred, that dude behind you looks nice. You should introduce yourself and become good friends.
