RHETORIC

They call me 'lazy'.  I say I'm just 'being energy efficient'.

They call me 'fat', I prefer 'curvacious'...

They call me 'old', but in fact I am 'experienced'.

They say I'm 'forgetful', but I'm merely 'inspiring' them to think for themselves.  I could tell them the answers, but they would lose out on the first hand experience! 

They call it 'gluttony', I call it 'storing for the winter'.

They say I 'gamble', I call it 'high risk investments'.

They say I have 'vices', I like to think of it as being 'addicted to happiness'.

They criticize my 'consistent tardies and absentee-ism', when in reality they should thank me for my 'payroll conservation'.

They score me negatively for 'delinquent payments', when in fact my late fees are 'guaranteed profit'.

They call me 'rude', I think I'm just 'honest' (and sometimes the truth hurts, baby!)

They call it 'speeding', I call it 'a sence of urgency'.

They call it 'lack of willpower', I call it 'letting nature take its course'.

From my point of view folks, I'm reallyquite the model citizen.  No need to change my ways to better myself, I'm already PERFECT!

I love it! I agree with you on all counts. I may just make my own perfect rationale for all the character flaws people nitpick me for too. Let me know how you want your royalty for this great idea. It's going to be proliferated.

Hmmm, that seems familiar to me.

They call me 'a smart-ass butt-wipe'.  I like to think of it as 'intelligent bathroom tissue'.
