Hard to internalize a favour.

OK, assuming you are both taking the "a remedial enterprise undertaken with zeal and enthusiasm" definition, it still shivers me.  And not only in the context of the Great European Military Actions of the Middle Ages -- you never had people from the Campus Crusade for Christ "power-praying" down your dormitory hallway.

I still agree with Aslyn (do I remember correctly?) on this:  "We don't need no steenkin' favours!"

EXACTLY.  And I don't want to have to flaunt something so that people will notice me doing it.  That's not the way I was raised (OK, it's a religious thing, too; we are taught that the best and highest-regarded acts of courtesy are the ones where nobody knows it was you, or even what specifically was done).
