I once had a mother in law who would say "I and you" (when using the nominative case, obviously). When challenged, she insisted that if you could say you and I, then I and you was just as valid, wasn't it?

Apart from reminding her that it was simply polite to put the other person ahead of oneself, we were always a bit stumped by that one. If there's a rule, I've long since forgotten it. :|

I, myself, personally, prefer Us and Them (from a popular beat combo, also in the Seventies):
