My Own Special Brand of Humor

It's a little peculiar, so for the benefit of those who haven't really noticed or don't care, I'll explain a bit about it. I specialize in reverse self-deprecation.

It's a sort of a knocking myself down by puffing up my self-importance to such ridiculous extremes that eventually it becomes clear that I can't possibly mean it - at which point, the depth of my own insecurity is laid bare and people can laugh at me.

Prior to that point, they're too intimidated to laugh. Honestly, I'm fine with either reaction.

>"the depth of my own insecurity is laid bare"...YOU???

The depth of my own insecurity is ALWAYS laid bare. Why should I hide it? No shame in my game!

God loves Washington, true, but God sets the bar very low for giving love.

I'm a fan of skin, if that's what you mean...as for organized sports, I feel pretty much the same about them as organized religion.

With that attitude, you'll never win the championship!!!!

Ahem. Sorry. My intensity got the better of whatever the other part of me is.
