Yesterday, while prefacing the communion table, the elder adminstering the sacrament said:

...And so Paul is exhorting a man before he partakes to examine himself. Or a woman.

This was exciting news. No longer would I have my face slapped with white gloves and blush to hear accusations of "Fresh!" and "Scoundrel!" Ah sweet liberty, you have come home once again and welcomed your favoured son into those wide and broad arms.

I mean, really, what else could he mean but that Paul gives us the option of checking out the ladies in place of examining ourselves?
