(Poitier double feature) Next, we are all going to observe certain courtesies in this classroom. You will call me “sir” or “Mr. Thackeray”. The young ladies will be addressed as “Miss”, the boys by their surnames. ---

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > Next, we are all going to observe certain courtesies in this classroom. You will call me “sir” or “Mr. Thackeray”. The young ladies will be addressed as “Miss”, the boys by their surnames. As I recall the film, the next part of dialogue had to do with _WHY_ they should address the young ladies as ‘Miss’… to which Mr. Thackeray (Poitier’s character) asked something like, “Are there any of these young ladies you feel don’t deserve to be addressed as _‘Miss’_?” – at which point the questioner backed down. You’d get an entirely different response to that question these days. Play on. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

It means: Be advised. I’m mean, nasty and tired. I eat concertina wire and piss napalm and I can put a round in a flea’s ass at 200 meters. So why don’t you go hump somebody else’s leg, mutt face, before I push yours in. ---

I don’t know. I can’t figure women out. Today, they’re… independent. They only think about themselves. Why, during sex, Vanessa - she used to scream out her own name! ---

I understand you have taken exception to my calling you whores. I’m sorry. I apologize. I ask you to note that I did not call you callous-ass strumpets, fornicatresses, or low-born gutter sluts. But I did say “whores.” No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue, I apologize. ---
