My grandmother came from old Yankee stock out of Vermont, my grandfather from French Canadian Quebecois. I learned from early on to sit up straight at the table, no elbows on the table, chew with your mouth closed, cut your food to bite size, open doors for ladies and your elders, please and thank you. I've tried to pass that on to my kids. It's nice to have older folks come up to us in a restaurant and compliment us on our kids behavior. If I had a dollar for every well dressed dope I've seen sitting at a table chewing with his mouth open, talking with food in his mouth, wearing his hat at the table or inside at all, I could pay my mortgage off.
I'm not a flashy dresser or clothes horse, but when I'm with my wife I do try not to embarrass her by dressing like a slob.
As long as I'm mentioning hats, what is it with men these days? I was watching an indoor presentation on TV and all the men had either ball caps or cowboy hats on. It was obvious none of them could see past the guy in front of them so it ended up looking like a bunch of gophers popping up and around to try and see the screen up front. If just one of the dummies had taken his hat off the rest might have caught on and been able to see. Maybe it's the USMC training, but I usually take my hat off entering a building.
