And, Thorlifter, don't forget to raise the little pinkie when sipping from the cup.......

Are these Texan Types, what you might call, 'Rough'?
 
If one raises one's little pinkie while drinking in east Texas, one's redneck buddies will hit said pinkie with a $%#^*$ hammer. The only tea that is allowed is a tall glass with ice. LOL

They are Roughnecks, Oilfield workers. They would remove the shotguns from their pickup trucks and shoot any banjos. They are a fiddle bunch. LOL.
I like Wilbur1's plan better.

Whiskey is for after hours fun.

Funny, I have always raised my pinky up when drinking. Not straight up and sticking out like a $3 pansy, but just slightly off the glass. Always have and I guess I always will.
 
When I applied to become British I had to:

1. Recite the complete "Argument" sketch by Monty Python.
2. Convert to The Church of England.
3. Name 2 Britcoms.
4. Own at least five Books on Admiral Nelson.
5. Add "Bobby" and "fuzzy-wuzzie" to my lexicon.
6. Have a shrine somewhere in my home to Manchester United.
7. Recite the rules of Football :)lol: ) and Cricket.
8. Name either Churchill, Maggie or Wellington as my favorite person of all time.
9. Name all the wars under Queen Victoria.
10. Define "bonnet" and "spanner".

Sadly, I didn't make it. :(
 
Speaking as an Englishmen who can trace his ancestry back to 1066. My favorite teas are Earl Grey an Rose pouchong.

PG Tips is suitable for the commoner only. Rumour has it that they stew it till the spoon is able to stand in it and sweetened with six tablespoons of sugar.

Real tea comes out of a teapot.

If your feeling really bold try Lapsang Sauchong.

Sweetner made out of Coal or Oil is an affront to any right thinking individual.
 
When I applied to become British....

I saw the interview of John Cleese, (after he had been living in America for a few years) they asked him what were the biggest differences between living in Britain USA, he answered that in Britain

1.) They drink Tea instead of Coffee

2.) You can cut somone off in traffic without getting shot at,

3.) When you meet the head of state you only have to go down on ONE knee. :eek:


(the interview was in the late 90's....) :shock: :oops:

Damn, I thought I'd get in on just drinking tea! I've got #1 covered, but the rest, I'm done for.

Do you want the 5-minute argument or the full half-hour? :toothy8:

Phew! Your lucky Njaco, next step was bad teeth and pale skin... :shock:

Nothing wrong with my teeth:
