Rock, Paper, Scissors

I was taught that gentleman always shoot scissors first in Rock, Paper, Scissors. My friends think this is ridiculous (and some go rock every time to punish me). Is this an actual rule?

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Now isn’t that the silliest thing you have ever heard! Maybe the home team at a football game should spot the visitors a touchdown, or in baseball a home run, or in basketball a three-pointer. This is a cutthroat sport, with three deadly weapons: a sharp cutting tool, and heavy blunt instrument, and a legal document capable of tying at least one of them into futile litigation. So when your friends meet you again on the field of battle, pull out that restraining order!
