The 'Ask Walt' etiquette thread

[StSanta]

Came upon this gem on another forum. It has some potential

Walt helps skydivers with etiquette

Some examples:

Hypothetical question say your at a resturant on a first date and when the check comes out the girl insists on paying for dinner. you want to be a gentleman and pay for the meal... but... well... what do should a man do?

Walt says
You should politely but firmly explain that if you don't pay for the meal that takes away any grounds you have for insisting on monkey-like sex later in the evening. She'll understand and let you pay in that case.

Dear Walt~
What would be a good wine to serve with White Rhino steaks??

I was leaning towards a hearty red, but we will be serving California Condor eggs as part of the appetizer and I am uncertain if a Red would be proper.

Walt says
I get that question quite often. Although White Rhino steaks are technically red meat and most people assume that requires a red wine, the fact is that it tastes much like chicken, so particularly since California Condor eggs will be served also, a well-chilled Zinfandel is the way to go.

If I may make a suggestion, Sauteed Snail Darter makes a great appetizer as do boiled Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle eggs, stuffed with Gulf Sturgeon decorated with Bald Eagle feathers!

If a woman has offered you a BJ before sunset load, and you are on a 5 minute call, what would the proper etiquette be?

Walt says
Very difficult situation for sure! On one hand, you've been offered a BJ and you would be crazy to say no to that!!! On the other hand, it's very rude to scratch off a load on a 5 minute call. Either choice is both good and bad. All you can really do is toss a coin--heads: BJ; tails: sunset load. Then scratch off the load and get the BJ!!!

dear walt
i have recently been anonimously accused on the dropzone.com of some terrible things that i might have adtually be guilty of. what should i do?

Walt says
You have a choice here. You can step up to the plate and be a man and take personal responsibility for your actions and try and make things right with the person or people who you have wronged. As painful as it usually is, the flip side is that you'll feel better about yourself and you will gain a great deal of respect from the people around you.

But I digress. Laugh it off and claim you were drunk!:D
