Get Your Privates Off the Table

Have you lost your inhibitions? I don't want to see you in these positions. This image of you is quite revolting, I can feel my stomach summersaulting, displaying yourself in a public place, a disgusting sight to force on my face, I can't eat now I'm unable, get your elbows off the table!

This is aimed at the disgust some people display when others rest their elbows on the table during a meal, and then taking that disgust and sarcastically putting it into context by comparing it with genitals (something that merits disgust) to highlight the stupidity of the disgust shown at elbows, to bring to light the nonsense rule that doesnt really warrant the disgust that is shown.

….. because sometimes context highlights overreactions for what they are, and what they are is stupid
