It Is Highly Decorous
FOUND by Jeffrey
in Austin, TX
I found this on a table in a coffee shop. There were two unused napkins sitting on the table. When I moved them, I noticed this note written on the bottom napkin. I had to look up the definition of "decorous."

Nuff said. Where's the make-out room?
This was the conversation between the french toast and the bacon.

Let's make out already
Reads like a conversation between our Basil and someone else....who?
It sounds as if these horny toads couldn't wait very long to act on their urges. So I hope you checked under the table before you settled in just to verfiy it wasn't still occupied.
This was written on a date between two English majors. They were obsessed with each other—and the English language.
Hope their glasses didn't break and their braces didn't get locked together when they muckled onto each other... and then the splendid whistling nose sounds started...
I think that it is indecorous that the note napkin to took the bottom unless it was mutually agreed upon.
It looks like the same handwriting, different pens...
Brain problem:
I love myself, I think I'm grand
I go to the movies to hold my hand
I put my arm around my waist
And when I get fresh, I slap my face
I would totally love to get a note like this.
This is delightful. It's as if Jane Austen's characters lived today, meeting in coffee shops and discussing propriety while playing footsie under the taple
WOW! Three complete, coherent, properly spelled and punctuated sentences from two people.
After the many atrocious representations of the decline of our written language that have appeared here, this is a breath of delightfully fresh air!
There may be hope yet.
I concur with brain problem..
as a mother of five children in a very unromantic marriage- this note has just jumped itself to the top of my favorite finds. If I found a napkin like that, I'd frame it. {sigh...}
girls, he starts out wanting to make out with you and ends up wanting you to come into the bathroom with a new roll of tp while he's sitting on the toilet. run, run while you can and have a string of passionate romances.
Very nice find. I hope they had a good make-out.
ok, sorry- just read my post and it is a bit tmi... that happens when I get jealous of highly decorous statements made by young people in love.
on a lighter note, just read a few older finds and ya'll made me LOL when reading the pitiful I, Real Man note and comments. Found friends, you are all butfile!
Mother of 4...same boat as Trishia.
Which is why this find makes me smile...love it still grand.
I love how they say 'make out' instead of something more romantic or old fashioned like 'kiss'. But they still use 'indecorous'. I would kiss the guy just because he could spell and properly use that word.
But I'm a crazy English major who thinks our language is dying a slow and painful death at the hands of texters
Oh, it's not dying all that slowly. Or should i say INDATS!
This sounds like something my boyfriend and I would do.
We're classy like that.
I had to google "decorous", I guess I am on the short bus with this find.
This reminds me of my ex-boyfriend so much. I'll just go cry in the corner now.
@Beth: should he have said, "dearest, if it wouldn't be a bother, let's neck"? Maybe "canoodle"? But props for using "(in)decorous."
I tried this once: I just said "hey, let's make out." The little brat laughed and said "no." Then I passed out on her couch, drunk and karaoked-out. We did later make out and even did the deed a few weeks later.
sigh.
Reminds me of Kim Cattrall in Sex and the City saying to the guy next to her on the floor in the exercise class 'Hey! Wanna f*ck?'
Or did he think that was an indecorous thing to say?
He did it anyway.
