Little Johnny's Manners

The teacher asked Michael, "If you were on a date, having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the restroom?"

"Just a minute, I have to go pee," Michael answered.

The teacher replied, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you, Paul, how would you say it?"

"I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back," Paul answered.

The teacher responded, "That's better, but it's still not very mannerly to say the word "bathroom" at the table. And you, Little Johnny, are you able to use your intelligence for just once and show us that you have good manners?"

Little Johnny replied, "I would say, Darling, may I please be excused for a moment, I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."

The teacher fainted.
