About Manners and Decorum

It's not just us Knights who make life easier for people around us. There are some of our friends who also hold honorary positions at The Table, because of their sense of humour...

11th std. We the friends had gone on a camp on an island with a group. On the island, the living arrangements consisted of one large tent for us boys (around 10), a large tent for girls (similar number), followed by the tents for families and instructors.

After some near misses on the first day, we had to tell the girls to ask if anybody is changing (there being no doors to knock on) before charging in inside our tent, all the while being aware that a large head-sized hole (at about chest height) near the curtain (which served as door) rendered this precaution something less than that. But then, there is such a thing as decorum...

On the second day, one of our friends sticks his head inside the tent through aforem. hole and asks loudly, "Is anybody changing?"

Before the astonished occupants of the tent could answer, he continues, "No? Then I won't come in" and walks off... leaving us spectators RITSL.
