I think this might be the book!

This is bugging both my sister and me now ... neither of us can remember the title or author of this picture book, but we definitely remember the book. It also had an endlessly repeating page of "Pete and Repeat were sitting on the fence. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat. Pete and Repeat were sitting on the fence ..." Grr... faulty memories! And, thanks for the video, Lawrence! --Deb’s last blog post..Blogapalooza

@John–No, as I recall, they didn’t have names, they were just illustrations with really superb manners! I’ll ask my sister, though, if she remembers what the book was…

In this post you mentioned how today “people casually cut in line at grocery stores.” Checkout this video on YouTube.com, titled “Man in Line,” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h-uhoCmyH8 . It echos what you said and show how one fellow got the better of someone who did.

Do you happen to know their names? I recently saw a discussion of an allusion to a similar situation, and they had names. It was agreed that such an allusion should be avoided, since no one actually got it. Google is no help. I searched for "so polite they wouldn't go through the door" and got a bunch of links about Canadians. Bully for our neighbors to the north, but I'm still stymied.
