from my Bathroom Reader:
The perfect hostess will see to it that the works of male and female authors be properly separated on her bookshelves. Their proximity, unless they happen to be married, should not be tolerated. Lady Gough's Etiquette, 1863.
Sending out a letter with a crooked, mangled or upside-down stamp is akin to letting your lingerie straps show. Good Housekeeping's Book of Today's Etiquette, 1965.
Discuss.

Spendius said the same things. Now I know his sources.
@wandeljw,
Yeah, he's a throw-back, for sure.
