Perhaps his intentions are not as such and perhaps I should rather say, in mixed company, that I find it "impolite" or, dare I say it, "rude", and most likely he is much less than a "dick". This is a case of manners. For it is manners that separates us from the beasts. Carry on, gentlemen, carry on.
