I'm at a trade show in Long Beach and a coworker told this joke to a handful of other coworkers and me:
What's the opposite of Christopher Reeve?
Christopher Walken.
I smiled and gently chuckled (which I think is the appropriate response to a joke of that caliber) while the rest of the group was silent, and one dumb ass was like, "I don't get it."
I let out a deep, intentionally audible sigh, like the kind I used to let out in college when students would incessantly disrupt lecture to ask dumb questions or articulate their less than insightful thoughts in hopes of catching the professor's attention and earning brownie points.
Every day, small signs like this make it more and more apparent that the people around me and the job that I'm in prevent me from realizing my potential and that I have too much talent that's going to waste. But it's my own fault for not doing anything to improve my position in life.

Some people were just cut out to work in the beauty industry. If everyone was super smart, then you would be the stupid one. I'd rather be smart and be able to look down on everyone.
By the way, i'm pretty sure the opposite of Christopher Reeve is Christopher Alive. Was this a 2002-themed trade show?
That will all change in a few short years. You should keep that notepad around to write down all your brilliant ideas/silly thoughts, like we discussed. I'm not saying that to be sarcastic either, well I am partially, but I really mean it too. You've always had brilliant ideas/silly thoughts. I've always thought that, even when were like 5. That's saying a lot because let's face it, 5 year olds are generally pretty stupid.
