Too Weak To Disagree…….Pathetic!

Nope! I’m not doing the poitical thing today. Not going to do it. I am just saying that politics is the best example of my rant. So………moving on. One of my favorite things to do is sit in a meeting or a group of some kind and watch the most popular person in the room tell a horrible joke and then force everyboy else to erupt into laughter. I love to watch who participates and who doesn’t. I can tell you now which person I am. I am going to give you a little pitiful laugh that allows the offender to save face and not look like a jerk but at the same time giving everybody a look like “Really?” How about the “wanna be” who takes the laugh too far and actually makes the offender give them the “It ain’t that funny” look? My favorite is “keep it real” guy who just sits there looking disgusted. Then of course, you have all of the people in the middle who look around first, or say something inappropriate, or have horribly akward laughs. It is a science project on social hierarchy.

Let me help you break this down. The person who laughs the loudest is the biggest wimp in the room. Funny thing is that it is also usually the biggest baddest guy. The heir to the throne. It is usually the person who said that they hate those jokes last month when you were hanging out. It is mostly a person who would never tell a joke like that. A person who is primarily a pretty good person. However, they also have aspirations, which makes them dangerous. They have been dreaming of one day being important their whole lives. This may come as a surprise but that person probably has some serious self-esteem issues. That person will slit your throat just to fit in then take you to the hospital when everybody leaves. That cat lacks the courage of their convictions and I promise you they are the most dangerous person there.

The mob is ruthless! With social media and the present political and worldly climate you have to pick a side. And once you pick a side you have to commit. You have to be 100% in. You have to give them your brain and ethics and be willing to throw away all of your family training and values. And in return you get membership. Sometimes it is color. Sometimes it is gender. Sometimes it is age. Sometimes it is East Coast vs West Coast. Sometimes it is between Countries. Sometimes rich vs poor. Sometimes it’s the Yankees vs the Red Sox. It doesn’t matter. Membership has it’s benefits and exclusivity and protection aren’t bad when all you have to give up is your soul. There is strength in numbers and all mobs need that power. They need you. Who cares that the only people who respect you are others who sold their soul like you. Who cares that the real thinkers of the world think you are an imbecile. Just stay away from them. Easy fix. Don’t worry about what happened yesterday just look at how good you look rocking our Crest. Congrats!

Again I say that this really isn’t about politics. It really isn’t. It applies to work, family, church, civic groups, sports teams, chess clubs, relationships, and pickle-ball groups. I just like to enjoy this thing called life and give you a little fun homework. The next time you hear a weak joke and the person cracks up laughing and puts the pressure on the group to join in…….get your notepad out. Who is the kiss ass? Who is the “keep it real guy?” Where does everybody else fit in? Who are you? Can you tell a better joke? I’m just saying that the joke sucked and I don’t care what the big dude in the corner says, I ain’t laughing. Well, I’m not going to laugh hard. And you can’t make me.
