Dudano, Mind Your China Manners. Or How To Make International Whoopee.
2008-09-04 09:49:00 Back before the true advent of reality TV, I used to love watching the Newlywed Game. Back in its day, that show, more than any other, evidenced the lengths to which people were willing to humiliate themselves for fifteen minutes of fame. My favorite episode was when the host, Bob Eubanks, asked the wives if they were to write a book about themselves that devoted one page to each man with whom they had made whoopee, would it be a page, a pamphlet, a novel, or an encyclopedia? (I am not reciting this word for word, but I am getting the gist here.) With the husbands off stage, one of the wives said encyclopedia. When her husband returned, he guessed she had said a page. When he learned she had said encylopedia, he was both stunned and unhappy and he got her to admit she had always told him he was the first. At which point, Eubanks, in his usual inimitable style, asked the wife why she was telling the truth now. The wife replied, "because I can't lie on National TV." I thou...

Miss Manners Says....
2008-03-27 16:16:00 I would like to point out that if you're feeling suicidal and end up in an emergency room, professionals there do expect a modicum of decorum from you. That is to say, you are actually in a hospital and not, for instance, a strip bar. Therefore keeping your undergarments on and the sheet pulled up is not only preferred but expected. Certainly walking around outside of your room and into the ER itself without said coverage is not expected and ill preferred. Just something to keep in mind. ->

Table Manners - Eating Without Prejudice (?)
2008-03-25 15:42:00 In Indonesia, when we go to restaurants, there are no other way to grab waiter's attention but calling {this can go from mbak (sister) or ibu (ma'am), to unnecessary flirtatious remarks like sayang (darling) or cantik (gorgeous)}, waving (hand or napkin), or - these are extremely rude manners - whistling, clapping and flicking your fingers.I am told that in UK you should not do anything but engaging eye contacts (and souls, perhaps), until they realize that your plate is empty and you are ready for your second course. Rather than eye movements, any gestures will be considered rude. No calling "xcuse me!", no frantic waving, and don't you dare to whistle, clap or flick your fingers if you want to be ignored for the rest of the night, or worse, have your soup tasted like feet because probably someone dropped his shoes accidentally into it. So imagine that you're extremely thirsty and longing to have your glassed refilled, and you desperately are staring to those busy waiters, hop...

2008-01-29 21:05:00 When I stand at a crossing clad in a highly visible reflective vest with my bike at my side, clearly indicating that I am going to cross the street and there is a fair distance to the oncoming car it should be reasonable that I should be able to cross the street safely. Normally drivers slow down when they approach a crossing when a person is on his way to cross. Today I had two separate encounters with drivers that clearly lacked the judgment to do so, even though I was already in the street moving across. When they saw me they accelerated and swooshed pass me close by. In these nearly life threatening situations my body reacts primitively by ejecting the the middle finger. An unstoppable message from the inner core, a projection of my strong climate angst.Later on I heard a middle aged lady on the radio describe how she had once, in rage, opened an empty idling car and turned off the engine (the people using the car was within a distance of 25 meters). She had also at numerous...
