The title is, of curse, a quote from the Disney film, Robin Hood. [What an unfortunate typo, I’ve only discovered it now, but since we’re talking about manners I think I leave the curse word.]

“Ellen Cherry was from the south and had good manners. She didn´t have any panties on, but she had good manners.”
― Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All

And dealing with these ladies, it is good to remember:

“Call a jack a jack. Call a spade a spade. But always call a whore a lady. Their lives are hard enough, and it never hurts to be polite.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Good manners are fairly easy to observe:

“Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.”
― Emily Post

Even so, sometimes you find yourself without manners, good or otherwise:

“Oh Tigger, where are your manners?”

“I don’t know, but I bet they’re having more fun than I am.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Hence, mind your manners – and other matters, obviously.
