What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

Welcome back Jerome. You are the first suspended person to make it back to SFN by following our rules. And there is something to be said for that.
Now behave yourself and you might even last a while.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Ummmm. What kind of strippers.
If 6 burly guys with mineral spirits show up and start taking the paint off the doors, I'm blaming you.

Welcome back, Jerome! You actually followed instructions! A remarkable first for those who have been suspended here. Congrats!

Well, I dunno. Wouldn't want a lap dance from one, but door-strippers sound pretty kinky. This is, after all Jerome's party so there's no telling what'll happen.
