Do you?

I beg your pardon my dear friend Alan?

This thread has made me think a bit. Honestly, I consider myself a gentleman, I hold doors for ladies, but then again I carry around a redhead that you're familiar with, upside down on my back at public gatherings, now and then. I'm not sure if I can reconcile the two.



Anyway, I try to treat people with dignity and respect, which in my mind is the hallmark of a gentleman, though I do rant now and then, but honestly Panache, I can't think of the last time I doffed a cap when greeting a member of the opposite gender. I'm not so far gone that I wear my hats indoors, however...though sometimes it may take me a while to realize that I still have it on. I can't tell you the last time I saw a man doff a hat when greeting a woman. Honest.

It's not that all Northern Californians are boors, it's just that times change, I think. Now think...James you meet a dozen or two women at Beer and Kilts night every month. You often have a chapeau on, as do I. Do you doff it for each and every one of them? I certainly don't.

Anyway, I may be cogitating entirely too much on this subject...
