Sound advice, if incomplete. Addendum: If you have reason to think it isn't just a passing intrusive thought, and that you have to replace a lot of shirts, it might be cheaper to just have the warning permanently tattooed on your forehead.
POOR IMPULSE CONTROL
Edit: this is a reference to Snow Crash in a similar situation.
I have poor impulse control. I've never raped anyone, because I've never wanted to rape anyone. That's not an impulse. It's the violent crime of an unrepentant sociopath, and if you need impulse control to avoid it, you're the problem.
Not you "you." I know what you meant.
To paraphrase Penn Jillette, I rape as many people as I want every single day. And that number is zero.
That's exactly the quote I was thinking of when I wrote that comment, I just didn't give him credit.
