When I was about 9 I wanted to watch a certain TV show that “everyone else” was going to watch. My older brother (who, naturally, wanted to watch something else) literally said to me, “If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you jump, too?” That was the LAST time I ever wanted to do something just because “everyone else” was. Simple, yet effective.

I thought it was a good parable. It’s never going to make it into the New Testament, but it wasn’t bad.

If all my friends jumped off a bridge, maybe it was on fire?http://xkcd.com/1170/

That was a pretty amazing strip, when you really think about it. What a grand life lesson taught to us by a yogurt-headed penguin with a ticklish ass!
