During one of her daily classes a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:
"If you were on a date, having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"
Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee."
The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you Peter, how would you say it?"
Peter said, "I am sorry but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
"That's better but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. You, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?"
I would say: "Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."
The teacher fainted.

If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?
