(Fictional-Humor-Satire)
Once upon a time
but not so long ago there was a little boy who thought he knew everything. What
makes this story unusual, however, is that the little boy did know everything. He was just born that way. You might expect
the people around him to be happy there was someone who knew everything to help
them solve their problems and learn new things from but that didn't happen.
Instead, they became immensely annoyed for who wants to be around someone who thinks
he knows everything even if he does
know everything correcting everyone's mistakes and making them feel stupid?
Nobody.
So it was that the
little boy's parents, siblings, teachers, classmates, and everyone in town grew
to hate him. You see, it's good to be smart, but not too smart, because if you get
too far ahead of the curve people will become immensely annoyed with you
because no one wants to look stupid even if they are. People can live with
being stupid, but it's the looking part that is so galling. In fact, the stupid
people of the world - which some days seems like nearly everyone - have an
unspoken agreement they will not point out each other's stupidity, especially
in public,* and consequently manage to stumble through life with their
stupidity intact.
(*unless they are
running against each other for political office, in which case all bets are
off)
But when someone
breaks that agreement - or doesn't even know of it since they are not stupid
and don't have to worry about looking stupid in public - people don't just get
immensely annoyed, they get extremely
immensely annoyed, in fact, extremely
immensely annoyed enough to do something to that person to shut them up or make
them go far far away.
Now the funny
thing is that even stupid people are capable of being devious. In fact,
geneticists have discovered the smart gene is at one end of the DNA strand
while the sneaky gene lies all the way at the other end so they are not only
independent of one other, they have never even met. Also, when the gene associated
with ethics (midway between the smart and sneaky genes) is turned off as it is
in lots of people these days, the sneaky gene can go to town and do whatever it
feels like with no remorse or second guessing itself. This helps explain the
activities of the present leadership of the world.
But back to our
story.
The little boy
w-k-e and was t-f-a-o-t-c - too far ahead of the curve - was aware he was not
popular but he didn't care because why would a little boy w-k-e care what dumb
people think? So he didn't, and suffered the big
mistake other t-f-a-o-t-c people make by underestimating how sneaky stupid
people can be and the things they are good at, such as: getting you to vote for
them; smooth talking you into investing in businesses about to go belly up; signing
you up for a mortgage you can't afford; telling you you'll get a million
dollars from a bank in Nigeria if you give them your credit card numbers; passing
laws so they can do anything they want to anybody, anywhere, at anytime; framing
other people for mean things they've done and sending them off to jail; going on
television and telling gullible old ladies God wants them to give him all their
money; and lots more things like that.
So... one day in
school, the little boy w-k-e was bored and staring out the window. His Teacher
was always trying to catch him in a wrong answer but never could, and he had
caught her in a few wrong answers, so she hated him too. When she saw the
little boy w-k-e yawn, she thought this was her chance and quickly called on
him. But even when he was sleepy, he still knew more than her and answered the
question correctly and then gave a short discourse because he found it
fascinating and thought they might too, but instead it immensely annoyed the
teacher and his classmates.
The biggest boy in
the class, who was also the stupidest boy in the class and the quickest to
anger, yelled out, "You think you know everything, don't you!"
The little boy
w-k-e answered him honestly and said, "I do
know everything. I was born that way. It's just how it is."
But this only made
the boy angrier. He snarled and fumed, but try as he might, he could not think
of anything clever to say, so he did the only thing he knew how to do when he
was frustrated. He punched the boy w-k-e in the face and knocked him down.
"I've been wanting
to do that for a long time."
"But why?" asked
the boy w-k-e as he looked up from the floor. "Why do you want to hurt me? I've
never hurt you. I don't even know your name."
"Exactly," said
the big stupid boy. "You think you're too good for the rest of us, you think
you're better than the rest of us."
