What is a Gentleman?

A gentleman really wouldn't ask that question

 

I've heard the same said of bagpipes, which is perhaps more appropriate.

 

Here’s two!

 

I will wade into the fray. Firstly, a gentleman is one who knows the appropriate response to almost any social situation. Secondly, a gentleman should conduct himself in an honorable manner.

 

I love accordions and banjos

 

I arrived too late to claim the low fruit, so I'm outta here

 

Grab a banana and split?
Or just disa pear?

 

That's your problem, not mine.

 

I was always taught that a proper gentleman removes the dishes from the kitchen sink before he pees in it.

 

A gentleman is someone who actually took his Boy Scout training to heart and kept it there, even after he became a grown man

 

A brand of whiskey.

 

A gentleman is one whose conduct proceeds from good will and whose self control is equal to all emergencies; who
does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority; who
is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast
of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed
follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own.

Sorry, that is the first thing that came to mind.

 

I was a Cub Scout, and later, a Boy Scout.
I did not attain any particular ranking or collect many merit badges, but I definitely still observe the credo, “Be prepared”.
I apply it to my work.
I don’t apply it to every aspect of my life, but I am prepared for the failure of my music gear, and my bandmate’s gear.
My parents taught me consideration of others.
They insisted on it.
I honor them by adhering to their example.

 

It's quite sad that high-profile role models of this ilk are a vanishing species ... our society seems to have migrated to worship something else.

 

Never tells...
