Etiquette for Young Men

[Geoff Withnell]

You may have forgotten the old story:

Navy Chief: "Why do all your young recruits use such foul language?"
Marine Gunnery Sgt: "We teach then that in boot camp to protect their morals."

"Protect their morals?! How does that protect their morals?"

"That language will get get them throw out of any well run bawdy house in any port in the world!"

I agree completely. Proper etiquette and manners begins with speaking in a respectful and tactful manner. Heck, enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps will definitely teach young men proper etiquette, in which arguably, they'll retain for the rest of their lives.
