The probably results of my following the Golden Rule like this are:
  • She is grossed out by a strange, dirty old man
  • She slaps me & files charges against me
  • Her husband comes to my house and beats me up
  • The police come to my house and arrest me and throw me in jail
  • In jail I meet Bubba who, following the Golden Rule, has sex with me
A better rule, IMO is "Do onto others as they would have you do unto them." Of course that does require more effort and ingenuity.
This was brilliant.
