Something a gentleman should never leave home without....
« on: October 09, 2006, 06:01:33 AM »
.... a Handkerchief! especially when one (like me) is getting over a cold.

Any more?

Assuming you're talking about a true gentleman:  manners, self control, respect for women, integrity, to name a few things.

True, all of the above, minus a handkerchief, plus a cigar and a condom.

I don't smoke and don't need a condom, but the handkerchief is a little gay.

A zippo for lighting ladies cigarettes(it's a gross habit, I know), two condoms, at least 300 in cash and no more than 500, an Amex, and confidence :)

Handkerchiefs are rather 19th century; I know no one under 50 who routinely carries one, but stuffing one or two Kleenex tissues in your pocket before you head out the door is always a good move.

Too desperate, anyone can afford one, but to actually buy one and monogram it is a sign of insecurity imo.

A stout walking stick, for when one has to reprimand a rapscallion or ne’er-do-well.

True, but gentlemen often receive expensive gifts from women...ergo the monogramming.

I don't use a handkerchief - I just put one finger to my nose, press, and projectile the snot onto the pavement.  ;D

There aren't five people on the planet who know me and dislike me.  Not counting the people I oppose in the professional world who wind up on the losing end of deals.   ;D 

And don't get too comfortable.  We don't agree on much of anything, and you don't seem to like disagreement much, so I'm sure I'll offend you before week's end.   :)
