One of my favorite Chris Rock routines is when he’s ranting about ignorant people who want credit for doing things you’re supposed to do, bragging about accomplishments stuff that you’re supposed to achieve.
“I take care of my kids!”
Chris Rock: "You’re supposed to, you dumb motherf***er!
“I’ve never been to jail!”
Chris Rock: “What do you want, a cookie? You’re not supposed to go to jail, you low-expectation-having motherf***er!”
So let’s take credit for stuff that we’re expected to do! Mine is: “I ain’t never ran down no kids with my car!”
One of the guys that I used to work with was issued a certificate from his old boss honoring the fact that he had not killed anyone all year. He was kinda scary looking, so I was never sure if he *had *killed someone prior to winning the award.
