This rule 100% countermands the first rule, which is a sure sign that these rules are proper rules as might be found in the real world. If I carve them into stone tablets and we wait long enough, some dude with a beard will come along and then I’ll be expected to provide afterlife accommodation to 6 billion souls.
Remind you of another tale you might have heard once or twice before? Unlike the world’s most favorite brat however, a fellow who spent a great deal of his time annoying people and then running away, you should never allow yourself to be nailed to a tree. If some guys in shiny clothes approach you and ask you to carry a bloody great wooden cross, invoke Rule #1 immediately.
But this isn’t about Rule #1, this is about Rule #2.
Rule#2. GET CAUGHT
You will eventually. Which is a good thing. Brats that never get caught turn into Dick Cheney. And unless you actually want to evolve from adorable brat to evil destroyer of all that is good, you will want to be caught every now and again. In fact, it is so important for you to get caught that if you discover your skills of brattery and evasion far outweigh your local Tops’ (plural people, always look for the plural) ability to catch you, you may have to dumb it down a bit.
‘What, dumb it down for a Top’, you say? ‘I don’t know if I can act that dumb without putting on a bicycle helmet and slamming my head against a wall repeatedly.’ And to you I say, the end justifies the means. Unless, of course, it doesn’t. Also, if you put on a helmet and slam your head against a wall just because I instituted some fantasy scenario in which you might say that, then there is a distinct possibility you are overrating your native intellect. Just a thought.
LOL on the Dick Cheney comment!
Y’know, I don’t usually consider myself a top, but somehow reading your posts frequently leaves my palm itching to wallop someone! *vbg* Which just goes to show you how well you draw brats. (Not too much of a stretch, I imagine.
)
Maybe you could wallop Mr Cheney?
I find it very hard to relate to brats, being entirely rule abiding…. of 90% of the laws of physics.
Dick Cheney scares me. He’s evil and he tries to eat people’s souls. Yup, definitely.
He also shot somebody…gun safety is a must, Mr. Cheney.
