WASPs are not known for showing emotions or public displays of affection. For yours truly, some have described me as a heartless animal. And though I agree with these sentiments somewhat, I do not desire to harm others or cause displeasure for anyone. Harnessing such malice is certainly not healthy. With me, I just don't show many emotions, and I have always been notorious for bottling them up.
So, perhaps one of my New Years Resolutions will be to show the occasional emotion. Now, don't get me wrong, I will not start crying on command. I don't cry period! But, I will at least make the attempt to smile more!

Keep the stiff upper lip, and just say no to PDA.
PDA is still against the rules. How trashy
What ever happened to "keeping a stiff upper lip"? Its the WASP way.Lets not destroy that last great vestage of the WASP world.
This couple didn't read The Official Preppy Handbook: http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/201106/r785311_6790482.jpg
Ha, my wifes biggest complaint is that I have no emotions, and I'm no where near a WASP. I too rearly show much of any emotions, nor am I impressed by much. I think this has little to do with my so called raisin, but the fact that I traveled a lot in my younger years.One can learn a lot about themselves when they travel, some of the best threapy really.
However, there are a few moments in my life that I've ever cried, just don't have it in me to do so. But wouldn't say never. Wait until you have a child, you may cry the day of their birth, or the death of a much loved family member; that one got me just recently. My wife seems to think that I'm starting to come around, but the jokes on her. At fourty, I don't suspect I'll be changing much any time soon. Oh, well sorry so winded, but just sayin'.
I must cite Howard Stern when wrote that men do not have emotions, we have penises.
