Conditions for Friendship
Every once in a while I come across a profile with enumerated conditions for friend requests. Kinda like this one:

2. Any rude, hateful, or racist comments will be removed and you'll be blocked.
3. We will not be camming or skyping with you
4. If you like our profile, vids, or pics then be nice and COMMENT ON THEM!! Show some love, we'll show it right back.
5. If you like us and want to be close friend for fun then PM us.
Thank you
I gotta laugh when I see those. Of course there's nothing wrong with them; most everyone has at least some conditions. But whenever I read them I think of a scene from an old movie, “Cool Hand Luke.” Luke has been sent to a chain-gang prison camp in Florida in the early 1950's. The movie was made in 1967. Paul Newman played Luke. When he first gets to the prison he gets the rules of the camp:
“Carr: Them clothes got laundry numbers on 'em. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends the night in the box.
These here spoons, you keep with ya. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box.
There's no playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the buildin'. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the buildin' spends a night in the box.
First bell is at five minutes of 8:00, when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at 8:00. Any man not in his bunk at 8:00 spends a night in the box.
There's no smokin' in the prone position in bed. To smoke, you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smokin' in the prone position in bed spends the night in the box.
You'll get two sheets -- every Saturday. You put the clean sheet on the top and the top sheet on the bottom and the bottom sheet you turn into the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box.
'Tramp' Potter: Which --
Carr: No one will sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sittin' on the bunks spends a night in the box.
Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box.
Any man loud-talkin' spends a night in the box.
You got questions, you come to me. I'm Carr, the floor-walker. I'm responsible for order in here. Any man don't keep order spends a night in --
Luke: -- the box.
Carr: [to Luke] I hope you ain't gonna be a hard case.”
I"m not disparaging those who have conditions. Heck, I have some, too. No dick pics is one of mine. Another one is "don't gimme no sh*t and I won't give you any." Give me any sh*t, you spend a night in the box.
