From the Bookshelf

Modern Manners by P.J. O'rourke. One of PJ's earlier efforts but truly hilarious. The opening paragraph sets the tone:

Manners are a way to express altruism in daily life. Either that or manners are a way to screw people over without their knowing it. Anyway, manners are what your mother always wanted you to have. Whether your mother is a noble idealist or a scheming bitch is something that must be decided by you.
