#1 Sir. Six oysters for breakfast with a rasher of bacon is an indulgence. Three showgirls in your lap is an indulgence. Racing a car at high speed on weekends is an indulgence. Having a moral tuning fork that twinges when someone drinks water from a plastic bottle is an affectation.

I used to love them with chips and beer, but oysters and too much bacon give me indigestion and heartburn these days. My eyesight and response time is a bit lagging for fast race cars, but give me five minutes to empty my bottle and I'll be ready for the show!

#2 Besoeker, I noticed you glossed over the 3 showgirls. Is the missus looking over you shoulder?

#3 I think Besoeker was saying he enjoyed the showgirls with chips and beer.

I know I do . . .

#4 Looking over my shoulder? Yes, the short leash has served her well over the years. The victuals are excellent and I seldom leave the rug.

#5 Fix on something small and symbolic, and demonize it;
Propose a response that does little to address the fundamental problem;
Forbid the thing to others;
Reserve its use for yourself;

I'm guessing no one reads "Animal Farm" in school anymore.

#6 "The mayor will be the first to admit that he occasionally indulges in bottled water," Ballard said. "Its not something hes proud of."

Yeah, like banging the wife of your campaign manager and good friend? Kinda like that?
