Sure,Lucy will find just about ANY excuse, to stop CB from hollering at her, just because something he either did or didn’t do, is “bad etiquette,” in Lucy’s eyes. There was a daily strip from around 1960, of CB yelling at her during a ball game, for poor play, and she pointed out that “his cap was touching her cap,” which also was bad manners, in her eyes. And now here, it was simply “a male MUST ALWAYS remove his hat, when greeting and talking to a female,” in general. Oh, Lucy, you are just TOO MUCH!
