Another Question

Believe it or not, there are people out there who would find the sight of your genitalia vulgar, disgusting, and offensive-- or worse, for you-- laughable. .

I was tempted to use this as my signature line but thought better of it.

A gentleman behaves the way a gentleman behaves because he does not wish to unintentionally give offense to anyone. Ever.

Those who do not care if they give offense may dress as they please in the presence of ladies and children. They may not be accounted as gentlemen, but that choice is theirs to make.

I generally try to avoid giving offense but I disagree with the notion that one shouldn't be regimental around ladies. There's no reason they'd have to know what I was or was not wearing underneath. So unless I'm going to be climbing ladders or standing on my head I'm likely to be regimental.

Children are another matter entirely and I do not go regimental if they are going to be around.
