Another good one.
Though I heard that in the old days the gentlemanly thing to do when walking 
with a lady was to have her on the side next to the buildings and the man 
next to the curb. That way any mud or water that splashed up from a car or 
horse going too fast in the street would hit him and hopefully protect her 
clothes.
But that the times and circumstances have now changed with the advent of 
curbs and street gutters.  Depending on the  city and the circumstances the 
thing to do is to have the lady on the curb side and the man next to the 
buildings. This could be to be a buffer between her and any aggressive 
panhandlers who tend to stay closer to the buildings or if you are in a very 
crime ridden area to protect her from any muggers who might jump out from a 
doorway or alley way.
Guys now days have it tough.  What would a polite old geezer do if they were 
walking in a high crime area with streets that are flooding because the 
gutters are clogged with debris? They'd have to figure out what the rules 
are on the spot or ask which side the lady prefers I guess.
