English etiquette
Sat with my old boss once in the quaint old English tea room (the only place for miles around remote offices which sold edible food and drink), we'd ordered a pot of tea and some scones, being that we are done proper English posh types who liked to pretend we were civilised and that.

Anyhoo, the pot of tea arrived at our table accordingly, with the elderly lady who'd served us bustling back off for our scones. Remembering my manners, I picked up the pot and directed the question to my boss in a loud, toffy voice: "SHALL I BE MOTHER FUCKER?"

Just at the unfortunately timed moment the little old lady - who had shuffled up behind me silently - lent across my face to put down our plate of scones.

Yes, yes it is. Surprisingly, doesn't go down quite so well in most situations.

Don't be fooled.
Little old ladies can be shockingly foul-mouthed when they want to be.
