Also the head is too big. My shoop fu is weak.

It is rather the tranquil, serene experience of sitting comfortably in a tasteful, well appointed private library reading about Xenu murdering billions of people by use thermonuclear weapons.

I found out the popular valence at that time was a gold brick, and I’ve had chief petty officers and that sort of thing say to me, ”Mr. Hubbard, you are just about the greatest gold brick I have ever seen in the entire navy.” Pride, you know? Admiration. And that was because I’ve, appar-ently, didn’t ever work, and was able to get my job done on the time when somebody else was eating sandwiches, see? It would just be the speed of internal and immediate organization, don’t you see? So it didn’t appear to be very stressful. And got all kinds of things done left and right. And the way to be a perfectly impudent insouciant, utterly, completely tolerable, but ut-terly and awfully left alone by seniors subordinate, where they’re very nice to you at parties and so forth, but just a little bit, just a little bit on the keeveeve where you were concerned is, ”Oh I’ve done that. Yes, well thank you very much sir. Thank you, thank you. Yes, we handled that, thank you.” Only it has to be a fact. Your answers to an order are always past tense.

So you see how this fits into an org officer/product relationship? A product officer storms in and he says, ”There’s going to be a hundred and sixteen pcs next week, and what are we going to do about it?” ”Well yes, we actually got them and they’re all lined up. All the audi-tors are lined up, we’ve got the auditing rooms and so on. We’re going to use the preclear’s own rented rooms when they come in, for auditing rooms and so on. They’re all straightened up. We’ve got five new people on tech services, and they’re being genned in this week. As a matter of fact they should be hatted now, as a matter of fact. So, thank you.” ”Thanks for tell-ing me. It’s confirmed, is that right? Oh good, thanks for confirming it. There we are.”

Maybe the ad is targeting women who feel extremely guilty for getting hot when they see another woman? There was another ad recently featuring a sort of androgynous cross-wearing OT. Maybe hot, woman-on-woman auditing is the new insouciance?
