Under the chapter on Table Manners, she notes "the inevitable slippage of spaghetti from the fork back onto the plate is Nature's way of controlling human piggishness" and suggests "a quick motion of the wrist, such as one uses to shake down a thermometer, will remove excess ketchup" from French fries. From common courtesy and proper attire to the etiquette of weddings, Martin knows right from wrong and sensible from rude. But this is no prissy, preachy tome. Miss Manners is very funny and has impressive insight into life. 102409 1982 Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, Freshly Updated total:254|5:123|4:91|3:34|2:4|1:2| 254 1091 367 54 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 5 0 false Thu Nov 12 05:38:23 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 06:17:23 -0800 2009 more...]]> 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 3 0 false Wed Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 18:24:40 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 18:24:40 -0800 2009 I will never wear white ...more...]]> 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 4 1 false Sat Sep 01 20:40:54 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 01 21:00:59 -0700 2007 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 4 0 false Tue May 27 08:31:03 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 25 07:30:31 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 08:31:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 4 0 false Mon Oct 08 14:49:54 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 08 15:08:41 -0700 2007 more...]]> 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Mon Feb 16 16:22:43 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 16:22:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 5 0 false Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Mon Jul 27 10:56:22 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 10:59:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 5 0 false Wed Jun 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 11:34:26 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 11:36:15 -0700 2009 106238 0393058743 9780393058741 221 52 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563399m/106238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106238.Miss_Manners_Guide_to_Excruciatingly_Correct_Behavior_Freshly_Updated 4 0 false Fri Oct 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 06:57:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 09:06:33 -0700 2008 "Informal: Same as formal.
