Miss Manners says

Date: Aug 20, 2004

My opinion is that LVN probably _is_ Miss Manners. Foot soldier aspires to be as good -humored and polite as LVN and never to be responsible for sending LVN to the coach with a cold cloth. But I digress. "Low-class?" No. Pompous and full of hot air? Yes. As you can see, I will not get any politeness awardness.

Oh thank you, FS. Another lovely compliment to print out and show to my family, who are always proud but surprised ("are they talking about YOU?")

I just think it's odd and pompous. Remember in the '96 presidential campaign when Bob Dole kept referring to himself in the 3rd person? Probably cost him the election!

When Elizabeth and Bob Dole got married, Bob Dole said,

"Bob Dole do."

To see the problems it can cause, recall the famous "Jimmy" episode of Seinfeld.
