I've heard about five versions of "Almost Persuaded", and while it's a great song, I always get a little skeeved out by the last line, which makes it clear that this tale of infidelity avoided is being sung to one's spouse. Does anyone really want to hear that? Christ. _

I saw a flyer advertising for study participants and read it with an eye to sign up. $20 for a one-hour interview seems easy enough, and I fit all the requirements up until the last one: "Must not have attended college."

I couldn't possibly pull it off -- not just because I'm a terrible liar, but also because I know I give off class signifiers all the time without realizing it, and nobody's going to believe I didn't go to college when I'm spitting out fifty-cent words half the time. I can't say why I found this thought disheartening when I evaluate the class status of every person I see on the street. _
