A True Gentleman

Today the bar was raised.

I was in a shop and a guy stepped aside to allow me to pass, in doing so he nearly tripped backwards over a pile of news papers.

It is no longer enough to be polite, if you want to be a gentleman you have to sacrifice life and limb too. I tell you, next time someone opens a door for me, I will walk through, look him in the eye and say:

You don't expect a thankyou do you? It's not like youv'e broken a leg to help me out is it? What kind of half arsed gentleman are you anyway?

Politeness is superficial, show me your injuries!
