QotD: It Set Me Apart

What set you apart from the rest of the kids at school? 
Submitted by jks.

In primary school I knew big words and I wasn't afraid to use them. Didn't earn me a fan club, just loads of accusations of "swallowing a dictionary" and being "smart". Well… duh!

In high school I didn't have a Sweater Shop jumper. Or a perm. Or a pregnant belly.

I didn't have any of those things either :) Were there really people in your school with perms? that's nuts!

[Crap Biscuit]

there were many perms, and not the loose, sexy, tousled tresses - i'm talking about tight, almost grossly pubic curls! and what struck me was that the girls with perms were rarely single... go figure.

i can't believe you just said pubic on the internet ... it used to be such an innocent place *sigh* ... *wistful look*

Hah, me too. You made me laugh, haven't heard the phrase "have you swallowed a dictionary?" for years, you took me right back...
