    ATTENTION: AGE CHECK!

    Your attention, please: This is a mandatory age check. Fill in the following information fully and accurately, under penalty of law:

    A. Your Age:

    B. Age of your significant other:

    Subtract the smaller value from the larger one. If the difference is greater than five years, you're a sick, contemptible individual and should report immediately to the nearest Salon letter column for thorough castigation.

    All people are the same. Every 23-year-old is just like every other 23-year-old, and every 41-year-old is just like every other 41-year-old. No variation may be admitted to exist.

    That is all. Return to your normal activities.
