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.

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 ???

Probably "high tea" at the Four Seasons tomorrow afternoon as my cousin and the entire group try to gather every month of so. It is unlikely you would fit in...at the Four Seasons. I will have a scone just for you. Clotted cream and raspberry jam work?

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.
Gotta' love this!

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

I do believe the protocol is that the person of lesser status in introduced to the person with greater status. And always, in social circles, the man is introduced to the woman.
As usual,,,, the holes in your education, match the size of that gaping maw or yours, and of course indirect proportion to the small brain,,,, which could be recovered if you quit thinking you know everything and actually read something!
"Covert Operations: (easily googled)
In addition, the administration of President James Earl Carter publicly favored openness in government, and reductions in American adventurism overseas. Even so, during this time, the CIA still undertook or supported, covert operations in such arenas as Angola, South Yemen, and Afghanistan"
What worth is there in an education, which excluded information???
