For instance, if I did not meet standards of neatness, I was showing contempt for the people or the venue, and I would be judged by my Statement. There's a part of me that still resents that, but these days I go along with the gag.

If you really believe that the only worthy examples were by persons of the penile persuasion, go with it, but don't be surprised or indignant if you're judged by your statement.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=supergee&ditemid=149382" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
