Staring

Observation: If a man is staring at another man, the second man won't stare at a woman that he would've otherwise stared at if the first man hadn't been there.

Objection 1: Because the second man would rather stare at the first man?
Answer: No, because he's conscious that what he's doing is shady and doesn't want other men to know that because of some unwritten universal bro code (not that the first man and second man in this - or any other such - scenario are 'bros' but please work with me here).

Objection 2: But if the assumption that all men are shady is right, then they could both go wink-wink and then stare at the woman together!
Answer: That's right. But - and it's an important but - I'm talking about situations where the first man has chosen to stare at the second man and not at the woman and has thus already made his moral choice. The second man knows - as all men know - that staring is wrong. They do it anyway because they think they can get away with it.

Objection 3: How do you know that the second man would've been staring at the woman anyway?
Answer: Because that's what men do. (Sad but true.)

Victory

I just had my 2013 version of the Austin 3:16 moment.

You sit there and you commit infringement and you evade service of documents and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your employer, talk about your settlement...Order 1 Rule 10(2) of the C.P.C. says I just impleaded your ass!  

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story but I'm going to tell it again.

I've been wilfully caught up in the self-defeating quest to get to know myself for years. I've never expected anything beneficial to result from such a quest. I tend to evoke extremely polarised reactions from people I get to know in passing. Consequently, only those people who know me inside-out would honestly claim that I'm a person who's just "alright." It's not a coincidence that the description I've laid out above has no fewer than, title included, eleven references to me (make that twelve). I'm affectionately referred to as "Ego." I think that last statement might have given away a tad too much. Welcome Aboard.
