A frat boy “L” volunteered to be our freshman student council advisor. Two of us were running for class president, and my opponent “S” pledged with L’s frat. L ran a campaign trashing my reputation, so S would get elected. I settled for secretary.

Short term. I got S kicked out of office only a half year later, and 80% of my candidates of the new party I formed got elected. Part of why I won was that S’s girlfriend “D” was the one sleeping around the campus. One day I was on the floor below, when one of my classmates pointed to the ceiling and said that was her and a guy he knew by name. Bounce, bounce, bounce. Those paper thing crappy dorms were supposed to be temporary, to be torn down after the GI bill, but we were still using them.

Long term, over a decade, I waited for L to try for some funding. I called a member of the Board, and told her what he did to me. They awarded the contract to someone else.

Don’t mess with me. I’m very, very patient.
