Man, I've Just Been Burned.

Sign in to disble this ad
So back in the day, I wrote and edited my high school paper's satire section. It was a good gig, full of shenanigans and subtle digs at the town I live in and the kinds of people that live there. It all culminated in the final issue of my senior year when I stealthily placed a sentence about how a certain classmate of mine happened to have scabies in the middle of the story about the top ten percent of my graduating class.

Much community uproar, so on and so forth. No apologies from me left the school looking bad, and there was much wrath from the editors and the adviser directed at my person. I was almost graduated when the issue came out, so I brushed it all off and forgot about it...

Eventually a couple of my underclassmen friends reach their senior year (that'd be this one) and are editing the paper. The satire section has continued on in my absence, so they decide, as an act of "revenge," to put a quarter page phone sex ad in it, with different rates for "innocent freshmen" and so on and so forth. Yeah, you guessed it, they put my cell phone number as the phone sex hotline. You should hear my voicemail...
