Your famous, you could do anything you like!
 
sneak into the photographer's photoshop, wipe it all over his picture and then throw him in a ditch. what would you do?

*picks nose*
 
Well actually , if one has breeding and self control, one does not pick ones
nose, if one has a nasal irritation, the correct thing to do is, excuse ones
self from company, then give ones nose a jolly good blow, making sure one
is completely composed before returning.
 
Nothing important!I would say I myself asked the photographer to take the photo in order to know how I'd look like!(there's no mirror in the world!)

Indubitably, One simply cannot scratch one's one buttock, or one's other one, without one falling under photographic scrutiny, eeegods.
 
Should the social bans on armpit sniffing and ear cleansing be upheld as well?

I should think that the taboos surrounding one's cleaning of one's ears in public should be loosened unless of course one is digging for gold (yet only turning up dirt).

Good gracious, of course these base habits should be strongly deterred,
and one should conduct ones self with decorum.

When one is cleaning one's ears, one should hold one's pinky outstretched at all times. And never under any circumstances should one use the same hand that one used to scratch one's butt, pull one's underwear from one's butt crack, or clean one's ear to pick one's nose. Eeegods.

Oh dear, i almost fear putting words next to these, the habit of holding a
pinky outstretched, i believe comes from the oft incorrectly quoted etiquette
for tea drinking.
As for underwear, one should use good judgment when purchasing these
items.
I strongly recommend finishing school for an education on how to behave

One could eliminate underwear from one's wardrobe, this would certainly eliminate any breeches of etiquette associated with said article, (creating other possible breeches associated with not wearing any in the process.)

ones self into some thing resembling a gentleman.

Well I never! (Well, hardly ever...okay, as often as possible, but not recently.)

Oh, by the way, to answer the original question, I would just smile and wave.

I'd just be happy that I was famous, because that would imply that I was also rich.
