If he indulged in that kind of conduct he'd have his
colours gently but firmly removed by the sergeant-at-arms
for besmirching the brotherhood's macho image. In order to impart a
tone of ornithological relevance to this exchange, he had a stylised screaming
eagle painted on the back of his jacket. Very tastefully done thing it was,
