Everything should be ordened. Cleanedup. All the shirts in the closet, all the towels folded and piled up, according to color. Everything in its place. Also remarks. Like that remark, at the dinner; completely out of its place! Who do you think you are, we don't do compliments here. Even if you mean it. Even if you really mean it. Avoid embarassemnt. Change subject. Music, books.
"Have you read this book?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"This book"
When confronted with a title like that every human being of male gender suffers of a temporary mental black out, spanning from a few seconds to several minutes depending on hormonal levels. After that, military erotic visions take possession of the mind and interfere with any conversation for a prolonged period, occasionally popping up in umpredictable manner. Avoid embarassement. Pretend to listen. Clean up the mess. Pay the bills, and go home. Everything in its place.
