I don't know why, but this reminded me of the scene in Shakespeare's Henry IV where Falstaff is trying to convince Prince Harry not to abandon him in the future (when social pressuire will make their friendship a problem for Harry).
I suppose this thread can survive one more useless post, so here it is (note: this scene appears in Kenneth Branagh's excellent film version of Henry V):

Falstaff: But to say I know more harm in him than in myself were to say more than I know. That he is old (the more the pity) his white hairs do witness it; but that he is (saving your reverence) a whoremaster, that I utterly deny. If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! If to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damn'd. If to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord. Banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins; but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's company. Banish plump Jack, and banish all the world!
Prince Harry: I do, I will.

Far from useless. Way to elevate the thread! If only all posts quoted Shakespeare! (or were required to!! LOL)
