Some time ago i worked on trying to form Isaac Asimovs Robot Laws into something applicable to humans... well, i later decided that it's actually quite simple:

You only need 3 rules in life:

1. Don't harm others in any way (physically, financially or psychically)
2. Help others as long as it doesn't make you break rule 1 by either harming others or by harming yourself
3. If you want to be successful, ignore rule 1 and 2 and take advantage of everyone else

When it comes to singing and dancing I am like a horny prude. I really want to do it, but am conditioned not to, which is where other people come in. They generally have to coax me into doing it, but once I get going, we all have a lot of good fun. Everybody wins.

Here is your story. Listen:

It is tradition in Romania for classes finishing middle school to have a grand prom-style party at the end. You rent an entire restaurant, set up a feast and hit it up on the dance floor. I have no memory of the food. I remember only the large glass bottles of sparkling water sitting on the table, which is where I was determined to remain while everyone was getting jiggy with it. Not before long this girl who had a crush on me dragged me to the dance floor. We didn't dance, not really; we only held each other and did this awkward shuffle couples do when they just sway to the music. It wasn't much but it was enough to get me going and very soon I was having a ball. At one point I abandoned dancing completely. Shirt out of my trousers, cuffs unbuttoned, I stomped my feet around a pillar in some kind of tribal ritual. A pretty girl came up to me and said I ought to see a priest. I didn't understand what she meant but we danced together until her supposed boyfriend felt threatened and broke up our merrymaking. I don't remember how the rest of the festivities went, but the next day I met the girl's boyfriend again at a PC bang. He was standing next to the owner and seeing me he said, see that guy, he was completely shitfaced last night. I didn't deny it because it wasn't exactly a lie. No alcohol was had, true, but there was singing, and there was dancing.

Beats me. Was there supposed to be an issue?
