Sometimes I don't like etiquette (not to mention the fact that I'm going to have to use spell check to even come close to spelling it right). I'd like to talk to the woman or man who made up all these insane rules about what you have to do to be proper but I think that person is probably holed up in their house sitting by themselves wearing a white suit and white gloves.
The thing that got me thinking about this is thank you notes. The way those work is someone gives you something, you say thank you, and then you go and write down that you're thankful too just in case you're a verbal liar and a script truther. And while I'm whining about this, I have to admit that the reason I started thinking about this in the first place is that I'm horrible at thank you notes. We have Christmas and then my birthday in January and I am a horrible loser who didn't send out the piece of paper that would affirm my true state of thanks.
So if you're one of those people who believes that I am some kind of carnivorous barbarian because of the lack of written thanks you have received from me, first accept my apology, then print this off, paste it in a card and address it to yourself from me. I have no thank you note skills, only bowstaff skills.

Dude, I feel your pain. I am horrible at thanking people! Our main difference is that my bowstaff skills suck!
FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, I'm glad the Usher is the person who came up with writing thank you notes, but I don't think you would be comfortable confronting him because dance-fight skills trump bow-staff skills. Second, I also hate thank you notes passionately. It took us over a year to send out thank you notes for wedding stuff. I never send thank you notes for other presents. If saying thank you isn't enough, maybe you don't deserve a thank you. If you need a note for giving a present, I don't want your present (ok, I do, it's called rhetoric).
