Rules of Civility.

As you might know from Mom's Blog Jack has learning George Washington's Rules of Civility.
Here are some more funny one's. The site that I got these from has the original spelling.
See if you can understand it!

In the Presence of Others Sing not to yourself with a humming Noise, nor Drum with your Fingers or Feet.

******************************************

Sleep not when others Speak, Sit not when others stand, Speak not when you Should hold your Peace, walk not on when others Stop.

***********************************

Run not in the Streets, neither go too slowly nor with Mouth open go not Shaking yr Arms kick not the earth with yr feet, go not upon the Toes, nor in a Dancing fashion.

*************************************

Cleanse not your teeth with the Table Cloth Napkin Fork or Knife but if Others do it let it be done wt. a Pick Tooth.

*****************************

Kill no Vermin as Fleas, lice ticks &c in the Sight of Others, if you See any filth or thick Spittle put your foot Dexteriously upon it if it be upon the Cloths of your Companions, Put it off privately, and if it be upon your own Cloths return Thanks to him who puts it off.


I LOVE the last two! What about you?
