I needed to drop off some donated crap at the local Baptist franchise for a house bound friend, and decided 1/2 hour prior to services was the best time to do it since somebody would be there that would know what to do with it.
I'm aware this particular church is really administered with an iron fist by a pompous twit, so I made a point of dressing WAY DOWN that occasion, figuring the worse I looked (and smelled, I declined a bath the night before) the faster I would be on my way. The plan worked fine, I was greeted by looks of horror at first (OMG a new recruit who looks like that !!!) and then relief after explaining my errand and the item was then swiftly whisked away and I noted I was free to leave.
Dress for success would probably work in Poland too . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
