I think style and etiquette is important. Always dress smartly. Groom your self. Learn to use an iron when you're young. If you weren't taught, slap your mother. Wear neckties and look like a gentleman. Your car and motorcycle should always be clean, as should your underwear and socks. If you're a true gentleman you'll wash rental cars as I do. A gentleman is NEVER in or on a dirty vehicle. Be kind to all animals and all young girls. Finally, a woman should have six orgasms to your one. Remember this as a minimum guideline. She can come all night. We can't.

Not anymore, you're right. But when I was younger...

You can't argue with mother nature. Girls have the edge. Let them enjoy.

Please realize that I only bring this up because I like to be "proactive" and plan for future disasters (way too much fire service training).
With all of the needless drama that unfolded this last week, I would like to know what type of flogging may occur to any camper or lurker that may fall into the last line of "etiquette" from above.
