   Disobey, v.t. To celebrate with an appropriate ceremony the maturity
   of a command.

     His right to govern me is clear as day,
     My duty manifest to disobey;
     And if that fit observance e'er I shut
     May I and duty be alike undone.
     Israfel Brown.

   (Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, c. 1911)
