Turning the tide against them.

You may know by now how I feel about bullying based on personal experience. I didn't get revenge on the fools by starting nasty rumors about them or ganging up on them with my fellow geeks. I simply grew tired of being the source of entertainment for other peoples sick sense of amusement. By the time I got to grade nine I had a few one liners of my own. For every insult they came up with I had a good zinger of my own. I even offered to steal my own lunch money and stuff myself in my locker. It kind of reminds me in the scene in Roxanne where Steve Martins character had to think of 50 insults about his own elongated schnoz to make the people in town shut up and leave him alone.

They were jealous that I had better jokes than they did and they left me alone. This didn't make me any more accepted but I had taken the wind out of their sails and stole a bit of their thunder but I got my revenge by not really caring what they thought. I would almost like to see what some of these people are doing now. Did they mature any? Or upon seeing me again would they revert to type and start over. Never mind folks I have honed my sarcastic whit over the course of 30 years. Watch out I can handle you now.
