Would these people go into a friend's house and stick their bare feet on the kitchen table? If I stuck my nasty bare foot on their seat, would they sit right back down, or ask for it to be cleaned? When did bare feet become acceptable?

When I was a kid, we got dressed up to fly on a plane. Little jacket, tie and shined shoes. (On those rare times when we flew, as opposed to the usual day when we walked eight miles up hill through the snow to get to school and eight miles uphill through the snow to get home.) If I had taken off my shoes my mother would have recoiled in horror. I cannot imagine what she would have done if I had waved my bare foot around the plane.

Oh, wait, second rule I'd ask for - men would have to have sleeves on shirts when they're on a plane. I actually saw a guy on a plane last week wearing a pink "Breast Inspector" tank top. Mid-forties, hadn't seen the inside of a gym since Nixon was President. Lucky for him that his excess arm and back hair were keeping him warm because the connecting city was below freezing.
