Sure, though it might offend someone...

Actually it is a picture of an insular person, even if they are not singular-
ly insular.  (You can take this either etymologically, or the way I meant

versa, so it is one of those things, like the phrase "Stay the Course,"
that suits anyone of any persuasion.)
