Other fun customs from around the world…
—In Upper Crustovia it’s considered bad manners to spit in someone’s drink — while they’re looking.
—In Lower Crustovia it’s considered bad manners to knife someone in the back while they’re spitting in someone’s drink — unless it’s your drink.
—In Still Lower Crustovia it’s considered bad manners to not compliment someone on their knife wounds.
