Don't sit on a pedestal, you'll embarass yourself

Today started out as a good day. I woke up very groggy and got ready for the typical, monotonous drone of school and work. I did some situps and pushups as usual, but when I was all dressed and gussyed up, I thought I looked good...which is actually quite out of the oridinary for me. I then thought of the brilliant idea to wear a black bandana on my wrist. It would add a nice touch, or so I assumed...but you know what happens when you do such (divide the word assume into three different words). As I was walking from work at the library to my Biology class in the MARB, with my iPod in my ears, listening to Dancing by Elisa, I was touched on the shoulder. I took out my headphones and noticed a middle-aged person standing there. I assume it was a faculty member of somekind.

Blake: Hi.
Faculty: Hi. You need to take that bandana off your wrist.
Blake: Why?
Faculty: You are giving off the impression that you are cutting yourself.
Blake: Um...I don't cut myself.
Faculty: Then there shouldn't be a problem with you removing it.
Blake: There is no need to take it off.
Faculty: You can either take it off or we can discuss it in with the Honor Code Office.
Blake: No where and in no way does it say in the Honor Code that people cannot wear bandanas on their wrist.

and with that, I walked away. Now...generally I am not that blunt and snobby. I would normally comply to what the person asks because they are my superior etc... (rewind to Powley and my hair). However, that was down right hillarious!!! I am glad for once I stood up for myself and kept chuckling to myself the rest of the day. Carrie brought up a good point. What if I in fact had cut myself? Is it against the HC to hide this from the world? What happens if I got a bad burn that morning while eating? What happens if I have a bunch of gauze under there? What happens if I had plastic surgery? What happens if I am just doing it for fashion asthetic appeal? What happens if I just decided to wear a banadana on my wrist that day? It is not against the HC and it does not imply anything. I guess next time I see a person with a bandana on their head (has anyone seen Kenji per chance?) I will ask them to take it off because they are cutting themselves, obvioulsy.
