Otherwise "fifth commandment" is meaningless shorthand
That's the one about not incriminating yourself, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'd answer that but I've taken the Fifth.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hee!
Also, the Bill of Rights has "first one's free."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Like maybe God would give us a starship so me and Einstein and Ray Bradbury could travel from galaxy to galaxy...
Am now earwormed with "Highwayman".
I fly a starship across the Universe divine
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unrelated to religion, someone asked me the other day if my breasts were real. I ran quickly through startled, defensive, proud, and shill for DKNY sports undergarments.
She was unfazed by my shockedness, and implied it was a compliment. I don't think she entirely bought my denial. When I related it to someone else, they also thought I should take it as a compliment.
How strange. I'd call it so LA, except the person who asked lived in Michigan way more recently than I did.
It's totally rude!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I do. Otherwise "fifth commandment" is meaningless shorthand. And lord knows, people do use that shorthand.
I would say, yeah, it is meaningless shorthand to me. IME people don't use it.

Well, sure.
IME people don't use it.
And in mine they do.
When I used to know the commandments, I knew them in order. It never occurred to me or those encouraging its learning to do otherwise, I think. Perhaps the difference is that I grew up in Christian countries, but I've experienced it even since leaving them.

I think it is rude and a compliment.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
When we had to memorize the Bill of Rights in order in high school, we called the amendment the Phil M_____ amendment. He was a fellow student who also wore muscle shirts to school. He had 2 bare arms.
