Just A Thought

[Jackdaw33]

...arising from a slight altercations I have had with a lady. Why do some women strongly object to being addressed as 'Madam' when all men seem to be content with being addressed as 'Sir'?

[Jackdaw33]

Officers in the Forces are addressed as 'sir', as are male teachers by their pupils. I've been a 'sir' most of my working life, never taken objection to the appellation.

Ah, cervine rather than corvine.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Or was that Corbyn?

(Is that rule 2?)

[Jackdaw33]

You've lost me there, v-e. I know what both words mean but I don't get the reference.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Deer me, did I post that?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Sir Vine?

OK, it's not best gag of the Edinburgh Festival material.

(Tim Vine: I sold my hoover last week. Well,it was just gathering dust.)

[vetuste_ennemi]

You've got to cut me some slack here, Jackdaw: it's gone 3 o'clock and I'm watching a bloke with a strange accent playing Hamlet in the mode of Mel Gibson doing the taxi driver nutter.

[Jackdaw33]

//Deer me,\\

You are on form!

I don't mind Madam, Love or Dear so long as it's friendly.
