How many guesses do we get?
As tempting as it may be for one to have carnal congress with FLOTUS, I am under the impression that the person sometimes referred to as “The Soviet” may happen chance to show one the other end of that thing. To quote Sam Houston @ San Juancinto “Mind your manners, Men.” Make us proud, Dave! We want pictures.
On St Crispin’s Day.
Just an observation…no witticisms…no words.
The napkin is picked up with the left hand, shaken out to full size, and placed on the center of the lap.
Any snoring during such an occasion will be attributed to an overstuffed stomach.
Always place the steak knife pointing away from your guest.
Gas is a concern and there are a few schools of thought on it. If your seat is not cushioned, silent running is not an option. Some people can hold it forever. Some people hit the lotto. You won’t do either one. Best bet is to excuse yourself, get up, walk away, and let it loose as you pass others’ tables. That way, if it’s noisy, you can do a quick turn at the person nearest and stare disapprovingly at him or her, shake your head–and keep walking. If you hear, “It wasn’t me!” you know you got away with it.
Real men challenge the other party to do better.
I like to use it for punctuation.
Make your point then open the waste gate.
Stir your tea fore and aft in the cup. Left/right is boorish, and a swirly motion will get you shot where you sit. Don’t they teach you anything useful in Marine Boot Camp? I actually had to show a Master Guns how to properly open a champagne bottle. Bad form, that.
Any takers on even money that The Trumpster invites Dave and The Soviet up to the Presidential Quarters for after dinner brandy and cigars? I mean, after all, even dTrump and Melania need heros.
Spend the night in the Lincoln bedroom.
Leave DNA Evidence.
On the ceiling.

As far as wine with dinner, there is just one hard and fast rule. Color, vintage, temperature, etc. is not important. Just remember when your dinner partner passes you the bottle, do not wipe off the neck before drinking, it will offend her and her germs.
In the event they have glasses, swirl the wine around and admire the wine’s “legs”. Then ask your dinner partner if she knows what good legs are. In response to her blank look, explain good legs are toes on one end and tush on the other. Forgive me Chaplin, I was the Army’s expert on wine as part of my MOS.
What about the etiquette regarding the consumption of Dutch Rudder Cocktails? Does one nibble the lead paint chip prior to garnishing the drink or not? Also, is there a specific brand, color, or temperature rating for the antifreeze?
And if the napkin is wadded up and placed in the middle of the plate, means the person is “finished”…;)
Woodies cannot be explained under any circumstance. If it happens, just sit there and think of Wide Load.
Cankles McPantsuit, where erections go to die.
Trigglypuff. It. Is. Alive… And. Hungry.
Clapping. No one wants to be last. Always watch the highest ranking clapper. When he stops, so do you.
Almost as boring waiting at home as waiting in the audience. No cameras at home.
OK. After getting rid of the distractions, found the actual footage. My apologies to any who may have been offended by the previous comment. It was levied only at the screen shot of the Fox studio, not the event itself.
Good stuff!
I doubt these people around here can be offended.

If a woman says she wants to powder her nose, it doesn’t mean she wants to powder her nose so don’t say, “But it’s not shiny.”
“May I offer you a straw?” is probably not a good idea either.
A rolled up hundred dollar bill is also a no-go.
That was great. Thanks for sharing it, Dave.
^ditto^ good stuff
Fantastic
Interesting take on the “Iranian” money. Seems it would be more appropriate to be called “US Taxpayer money”:

It’s very cool that the president spent as much time as he did in this remembrance. On the 30th anniversary of the bombing, his predecessor issued a written statement that was about 12 lines. In all likelihood, President Red Line never even read it. It was issued by the WH pres office.
I am passing the following report on to from someone from the TAH community that actually was there at this event. “Some trivia based on observance while in attendance… * The silverware was actually silver, not that cheap flatware stuff that they call silverware. No paper or plastic plates anywhere to be seen. * If you set your drink down to take a photo, then turn around to retrieve it, it will be gone. A lot of servers were circulating and they were very efficient. They encouraged you to just get a new drink. * The music was live. Harps, flutes and an entire band. Very soft melodies were performed the entire evening as background music. * Lots of good-looking junior officers circulating around. I’m not sure of their function but toward the end of the reception they said “We would like to encourage you to make your way toward the exit. Thank you.” * Mingling for the first 45-60 minutes, then they opened up the speech room. Not sure of this room’s name. There was the East Room, the Green Room, the Red Room, and the Blue Room for mingling. * SecState, SecDef Mattis, CJCS Dunford, CMC Nellis, SgtMaj Green USMC, Gen Al Gray (ret), Col Tim Geraghty (ret), LtCol Larry Gerlach (ret), and Chaplains Pucciarelli and Resnicoff where there. Pooch gave the benediction., * Trump came in and gave his speech, then Mattis topped it off, then the benediction. Then the food. * Melania was not there, although her name appeared as the host of the reception along with POTUS. * For the most part, POTUS did not mingle and shake hands, except for the Marine that yelled out “We love you Mr. President.” Trump shook his hand and then exited. * I can say with absolute 100% confirmation that a member of TAH took a piss in the White House because that person was me. I tried to muster up a huge steamy number two just to say I did it but this was a bridge too far. I’m sure I represented all of you by this… Read more »
