CODE OF A MODERN GENTLEMAN

 

  • Never strike anyone so old, small, or weak that verbal abuse would have sufficed.

  • Never steal anything so small that you'll have to go to an unpleasant city jail for it instead of a minimum security federal tennis prison.

  • Remember, the truth is rude. Consider the truth about where babies come from, especially some people's.

  • Never be unfaithful to a lover, except with your wife.

  • Never transmit a sexual disease in public.

  • Don't pull on a crewneck sweater with a lit cigarette in your mouth.
