The obvious necessity of blogging "upright manner" made your cheap dig that much more disappointing.
Over the desk is nice, but then there's the awkwardness of realizing that not only did you just screw a student, but now you have all kinds of papers and staplers and pens and stuff to pick up. (I'm picturing a spontaneous "sweeping" of the desk surface -- I suppose for a prolonged affair, more planning could come into play.)
That would be a problem if FL actually did work at his desk. I imagine, though, it's dedicated to the one purpose. Maybe for dramatic effect, it's better to have some papers to sweep off? Then you could just restack them neatly, without worrying about any organization not immediately apparent to the eye.
If you care to hear it from a true Irish boy, here it is: Part of being a good Catholick! is to "hold" the "position" that sex is "fun"damentally necessary for procreation, therefore sacred. Of course some deal with this issue in an "upright," position, and others deal with it in an "over the desk" manner. The challenge is to stay in "touch" and a"breast" of the issue so to fulfill the religious requirements "head" on!. Some perverted Catholic priests are criticized because they confuse the masses when they have sex with boys; sex with boys does not lead to procreation. The issue is not sex or the manner of it per se; rather whether the act leads to procreation. If it does, priests have and will be forgiven for their carnal sins. Note that science may change all this if it enables male pregnancy!
Oh, I get it, because priests abuse little boys.
But Hudson isn't a priest. Hmm.

Damn it Adam, you're making me feel bad for my cheap shot. I still would have blogged "upright manner" though.

That's astute, Ben. Image googling "fontana work" is enlightening.

I shall use beige paper in the future to prevent my papers from becoming lost in case of such an eventuality.
