The phenomenon that is Self-Deprecating Humor...
Self-Deprecating Humor is like the multi-purpose answer to every question related to social interaction:
...How do I get this person to leave me alone?
...How do I get my boyfriend to pay me back?
...How do I tell this person they stink without hurting their feelings?
And the answer to all of these seemingly difficult questions is to answer truthfully, but hide all ulterior motives with a negative comment about yourself!
Example #1:
You are trying to let your roommate know that you don't appreciate her leaving doodoo stains in the toilet bowl...
YOU SAY: Hey roommie, I think we need to start scrubbing the toilet because my syphilis germs are always sloshing around!
Example #2:
You don't want to date your best friend...
YOU SAY: I wouldn't make a good girlfriend...I mean, I complain all the time and all...plus I have syphilis.
Example #3:
You want to get out of your neighbor's BBQ party...
YOU SAY: I can't go...I have to get treated for my syphilis.
See? Through the blur left by the self-deprecating statements, no one can tell that you are trying to fulfill a purely selfish purpose! Everyone just thinks you are doing something for their benefit! Those idiots...
And yes, I have tried it before...not necessarily the syphilis excuse though. I would prefer to use vaginal warts, thank you very much.
