Suspension

I think one of the biggest things to decide, when you are being suspended, is what facial expression you would like to be photographed with. Would you rather go with the meditative one, so that everyone will say "what a singularly deep young man this deep young man must be," or the nonchalant one, like oh, hello, I didn't expect the press. Luckily, most young suspenders have this resolved for them, as they naturally default to the "stupid" expression.

Further thoughts: they don't seem to like to talk about how much it hurts, and they probably wish that the thesaurus had more entries under "ritual" than just "rite". It will bring me censure, but I'm going to go on the record and say that suspension is dumb.
