This is an old story, but I still love it.
An old man was eating at a truck stop minding his own business, when three dangerous-looking bikers walked in.
The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into his pie and then took a seat at the counter.
The second walked up to the old man, spit into his milk and then took a seat at the counter.
The third walked up to the old man, turned over his plate, and then took a seat at the counter.
Without a word of protest, the old man quietly paid and left the diner.
One of the bikers said to the waitress, “Humph, not much of a man, was he?”
The waitress replied, “Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles.”
The authors of the quiz we took the other day would call him a wise man:
In the words of the French playwright, Molière, “A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.”
The bikers were certainly showing “unseeemly behavior”, and the fellow showed not only patience and moderation, but also a brilliant form of revenge.
LOL
there are many times, I would’ve like to taken revenge on something…that’s certainly a sweet revenge
Sometimes it’s fun to pretend. But in real life I prefer
Most of my revenge is in my head.
That’s a great place for it. 😀
This is a remarkable story to illustrate how to keep calm under stressful situations but to act decisively at the appropriate time.
Yes. 🙂
love that story. 😀
like Sharon above… any revenge I might have is always in my head.
wouldn’t act upon it even if I could probably.
although if you remember the post I did on the peanut “innocent revenge” in ruining the vacuum cleaner…
that kind of helped at the time! LOL
It’s best to have a sense of humor about it. Better that than letting memories eat away at us.
That’s what we’d all like to do to people that tick us off. But, like they say in Star Trek, revenge is a dish best served cold.
I like, “The best revenge is to be happy.” Why waste energy on creeps.?
