How is what I am doing any of your business? It’s not illegal. Whether or not it’s immoral is irrelevant. And I’ll keep doing it as long as I please!!! It’s not illegal. And it’s not hurting you. I’m no threat to you. How is what I am doing any of your business? What are you going to do about it? Huh? Huh? What are you gonna do about it? This is your business…how? ---

In my day, people like you had the decency to do that sort of thing in private, and not go vaunting it in public. Indeed many refrained from doing it at all, but apparently it’s “acceptable” to go around doing that sort of thing nowadays as if one were actually proud of it. Political correctness gone mad! ETA: Down with this sort of thing! ---

Look, it may not be technically illegal, but SOME of us have to come around after and clean up the bodily fluids, the pudding, the pine needles strewn everywhere, the traumatized frogs, and…what ARE these? Did…did they used to be cocker spaniels? I think I’m going to be sick. ---

It could be my business, if you’re interested in signing this reality show contract. But you’ll have to try to be messier, more dysfunctional, more glamorous, and edge a bit closer to felony behavior. ---
