Hmmm. First time I've ever written a
Daily Evil. It's deserved.
As I passed a woman and her child today on the way to
McDonald's, the woman said, "
Merry Christmas" to me as I passed. To this I gave my usual reply, "Thank you, ma'am. And a
Happy Chanukah to you."
At this point her face got all
scrunched up as if trying to believe I actually said such a thing. Then, after a moment, she said, "There's no need for
profanity,
young man."
Now I was pissed off for two reasons. One, that she described my
religion (by birth, anyway) as "
profanity". I believe (by interpreting the look of
disdain on her face) that she understood what I said and was deliberately trying to insult me, as opposed to believing I had cursed at her in some
foreign language. Two, that she called me
young man, something I thought I'd never have to hear again after I turned twelve.
So, I said something truly
evil.
"Ma'am, what's your son's name?"
"Jonathan, why?"
"Jonathan,
there's no Santa Claus."
Evil Rating: 10/10, without question. It may only have deserved a 9, but I'm giving myself the last point as bonus for working the evil in under the guise of
cordiality.
