I'm not sure if I have permission to associate with you. May I see your stamp of approval please?

Does this stamp need to be time and date stamped as well? Is there an expiry date that I should be made aware of? how about a best before date? an enrolment fee? an anual membership fee? is there a secret handshake that I should be taught? a big glowing neon sign would also be handy if we can find the money in the next budget.

For future reference - yelling at me in front of everyone, public humiliation, judging me, criticising me and my friends is really not the most effective way of helping me.
