Me: "Oh! That seems like it would be a fun thing to do!" Lawful Neutral Part of Brain: "No, you can't do that." Me: "Why not?" LNPB: "Because the rules say you can't." Me: "What rules?" LNPB: "My rules." Me: "Well, can I change the rules?" LNPB: "No, that's against the rules too." Me: "What happens if I break the rule?" LNPB: "I will rain down such cognitive dissonance upon you as has not been seen in many a year. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. I will literally steal your fun right out from under you, because you won't be able to enjoy it while I'm doing this, so you might as well not even bother." Me: "Oh." LNPB: "Yes." Me: "Any chance of you going on vacation or something? Permanently, maybe?" LNPB: "Not bloody likely..." Me: "Dammit!"
