    Seriously though, living to excess and leaving your family debt to pay off is considered gentlemanly?

    Those who think this list is nonsensical are too uncultured to appreciate how good it is. In other words, you are mere men, not gentry.

    You are the homeless man who wears newspaper on his head and feet and fancies himself the queen of England.



    In other words, dear boy, you ain't shit and your list ain't shit.

    A true gentleman never calls himself a true gentleman-- everyone else does.

    And they call him "esquire."
