Summary: 

<we are not amused>

Gee, I thought pretentious pronouns went out with queen Vicky.  But then,
Miss Manners is trying to lead us back into the Victorian age, isn't she?
Any writer that prefers form over substance makes for very shallow reading.
However, in Miss Manners' case, this is not surprising, since she is so
preoccupied with Proper Etiquette (form), instead of rational behavior
(substance).

Now, if any of you think I'M preoccupied with rational behavior...

Miss Manners:	"Why, hello, Mister Rogers!"

Mister Rogers:	"Hi...would you like to be my friend?"

Miss Manners:	"Why certainly!  How do - ELBOWS OFF THE TABLE!" (thwak!)

Mister Rogers:	"Ow!  Can you say 'Fascist'?  I knew you could!"

Mister Potato Head:	"Has anybody seen my nose?"
