Fine, if it involves chasing one over a meadow. Not so good if it becomes anatomical.

Sometimes people come to you with schemes. The ones that involve remaking the world in a medieval mould can be interesting, but you have to ask who is going to be the lord and who the serf. It makes a difference…

If it is imposed upon you as obligation, think twice. Once started, it is hard to withdraw, and impossible to recover costs.
