I'll have to think up more of them.<br /><br />Jeremy - not to take you to task - but how can you not see that Samson had a clear problem with standards (or rules, or 'law's...you pick the terminology)? Joseph's issue - well, yes, that's precisely what it was.

Wasn't Joseph's issue that the woman coming on to him was married to someone already? I don't see how either is immediately about high or low standards. Wording it that way tends to sound selfish to my ears, though I'm guessing that's probably not how you intended it.
