Sample Book Insights: #1 A gentleman knows that incessant use of his cell phone can only make it clear that he values the person on the other end of the telephone conversation far more than the people present with him. A gentleman's telephone calls are still his personal affair. #2 When he is behind the wheel of a vehicle, any type, he should not be using his phone. When he is in a church service or during a theater performance, a movie, or a concert, he should not be using his phone. #3 A gentleman always shows up on time for any performance, and he never forgets that watching a live performance is not the same as watching a TV show in his own living room. He does not talk during the performance, and he leaves if he starts to cough. #4 A gentleman does not attend weddings alone. If his invitation does not say and guest, he attends alone, even if a reception follows. He arrives on time and sits on the appropriate side of the aisle, if he is a friend of the bride or groom. He does not chat during the music.
