table manners

i went for a dining etiquette seminar
"Bread, Butter and Business"
So cool can..
Plus it's free..

but it was an interesting concept to sit down and get taught how to eat properly step by step..
how to use each of the almost 18 things on the table...
The food served was not too bad either.. haha

Few lessons I took home..
1) everything on the table gets passed from left to right
2) if someone asks for the salt, give both the salt and pepper
3) if a lady gets up from her chair, all the gentlemen on the table need to stand until she leaves the table or until she gesters for the men to sit down.

And I had a good time constantly pretending that I was going to stand up...
