savoir faire
Three Frenchmen were discussing the meaning of savoir faire. The
first explained: "If you come home and discover your wife in another
man's arms and you say 'Excuse me,' that's savoir faire." "No, no,"
said another who was slightly older than the first, "that's not quite
right. Savoir faire is if you come home and find your wife in another
man's arms and you say 'Excuse me, proceed.' That's savoir faire."
The third Frenchman was still older and wiser, and he said gravely,
"No, my sons, neither of you quite understands the meaning. If you
come home and discover your wife in the arms of another man and you
say 'Excuse me, proceed' and he proceeds, he has savoir faire.
