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.
Art by the Vince Colletta Studio from the story “The Gay Deception” in FIRST KISS #8, 1959.
