So
There’s this TA that I get along with pretty well. It is the unspoken rule that I have the darkest humor in the whole class. He cracked one day and was like, “How is it you can take anything I say and turn it around like that?”
I looked at him blank faced and said, “It’s all I have left to offer the world.”
Fast forward to review night for finals. He decides to challenge my humor. Bad idea.
Him: I wish we had this room. I like being on a stage. Makes me feel higher than I really am.
Student 1: Um, that’s a little too dark for you.
Me: Yeah, I’m the self-depreciator here. Excuse you. Back in place.
Him: I’m a grad student. It’s true.
Me: I’m an undergrad, I have further to got.
Him: Yeah, but they still care about you. You pay them money.
Me: *He’s sprung my trap card* If I can’t get my parents to care about me, do you think I can get a college to with only money?
HE FREEZES and everybody starts giggling.
Me: Checkmate.
Everybody looses their shit.
Him: You know, I was just peppering things. Just little bits. And you went nuclear.
Me: It’s all I have left to offer the world. Please don’t take this away from me.
