Reviving Chivalry

He held the door open for me and stood aside.

“Hmm, chivalry, huh?”

I smiled.
He said,

“I thought you said that chivalry died with the 60s?”

“No”

I said,

“Chivalry dies with sex.”

Rude, rude, so very rude of me. But I felt I had to be flippant to cover up my embarrassment at not knowing how to behave in an archaic social ritual like that.
