A friend of mine was intent on going to medical school. The entrance exam included several questions that would determine eligibility.
One of the questions was: “Rearrange the letters ( P N E S I ) to spell out an important part of the human body that is more useful when erect”.
Those who spelled “SPINE” became doctors…
The rest ended up in Congress…

What does a man do standing up, a woman sitting down, and a dog on three legs?
Shake hands.

There is no doubt Brian will have some snarky comment; however, I will venture forth with commentary on "Shake hands".

Yes, a woman may remain seated to shake hands. The protocol exceptions would be standing to meet the President, VP, Supreme Court Justice, Governor of the state of her residence, a "head of state", Reigning Monarch, ambassador and, (here comes Brian's snark) a pastor, priest, rabbi or other such religious individual.

Just to really ramp it up, utilizing the list above, who is introduced to whom?

Are their rules to who gets met first? Must be if she asked the question.

The woman would be introduced to all the listed individuals preceding the clergy. The clergy would be introduced to the woman; however, traditional etiquette and protocol the woman would rise from sitting to meet a clergy person out of respect.

There are traditional protocols. It is unlikely people such as Brian, retired 669, BoJester, etc would have any knowledge of such.

They would undoubtedly not observe protocol even when instructed how. None of them have the class, but then they would never be in a position where protocol is observed.

OMG!!! I cant believe you are going to pick on those poor misunderstood, boyscouts!! Who only mean well, and only say wonderful platitudes, exaulting and uplifting everyone they come in contact with... the virtual PARAGONS of Christian love and fairness,,, even thought they don't believe in any of that, and destroy anyone who does.

I currently have them all in a whiny little mob wandering around behind me moping, snuffling, huggin each other, and mumbling,,,
"mean ol Vehoe,,, he is such a mean guy, he wont let us monopolize every conversation,, and after all we liberals have done for those damned Indians!!"

Poor little boo-boo faces,,, it is pretty pathetic.. but amuses me to no end!!

Unlike you AuntiE I never have to worry about the proper etiquette when meeting the clergy. I stay away from religious institutions so it really is moot. The only president I really sat near was President Carter (twice). He was hardly the type of man to stand on formalities which was why he used the vernacular, "Jimmy". President Carter had the best kind of etiquette of all...not invading foreign nations and k*****g their citizens. A lot more important than who stands, who sits, or which fork is the proper one to use, or when to raise your pinky.

As per usual, you prefer to dwell on form over substance.


BTW, will you be attending the D.A.R.high tea today ???
