So, according to "All Occasions 1922," there's this whole section on etiquette. Now, I'm not saying we should bring back all the 1922 manners, but some of them were downright hilarious. For example, there's a note about how it's improper to wear a hat in a movie theater. Can you imagine being in a film noir, all mysterious with your fedora, and then suddenly the usher comes over and says, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to check that hat at the door. No one wants to watch 'Casablanca' with your shadow blocking the screen."
And don't even get me started on the section about the correct way to address a lady. Apparently, it's improper to call her "toots" or "doll." I guess in 1922, women were just not having any of that slang. "Excuse me, sir, if you're going to address me, you better do it with the proper amount of syllables!

So, I'm thinking about taking some dating tips from "All Occasions 1922." You know, really spice up my love life with a touch of vintage romance. According to the book, a gentleman should never propose to a lady without first obtaining her father's consent. I mean, that's a good rule, right? But imagine trying to pull that off nowadays. "Excuse me, sir, I'd like to marry your daughter. Can you sign this consent form, and maybe we can do a background check while we're at it? Oh, and don't mind the time machine parked outside."
And apparently, a lady should never accept a date after 10 o'clock at night. Well, that's just impractical. I don't know about you, but some of the best conversations I've had happened well past midnight. I guess I'm just not cut out for 1922 dating.

I've been thinking, instead of looking back, maybe we need a modern version of "All Occasions." You know, a guide for the 21st century. Chapter one: "How to navigate a Zoom call without accidentally turning yourself into a potato." And of course, we'll need a section on social media etiquette. "Thou shalt not like thy ex's post from three years ago at 2 AM." Trust me, the consequences of that are far worse than anything 1922 could throw at you.
Maybe we could call it "All Digital Occasions 2023." It's time to update those etiquette rules for the age of memes and emojis.

You know, I recently came across this book titled "All Occasions 1922." Apparently, it's a guide to handling any situation in the year 1922. I mean, who needs that kind of expertise? It's like having a user manual for a time machine that only goes back to the roaring twenties. I imagine the author just sitting there, sipping on some prohibition-era cocktail, saying, "You know what this world needs? A comprehensive guide on how to navigate a speakeasy without accidentally doing the Charleston."
And they probably had chapters like, "How to politely decline a dance with someone doing the Charleston badly." I can only assume that involved a lot of discreet coughing and exaggerated foot injuries.
Seems a bit outdated, doesn't it? I can't wait to read the sequel, "Handling Y2K Like It's 1999.
