The little bull wants to lock horns with the big bull.
I've seen this too many times - some kid full of themselves takes on the boss, because they somehow think they got the position due
to - I don't know, age or seniority or something. They're oblivious to the fact that someone who thinks, behaves, acts or believes other than
they do must be inferior. Even I once fell prey to this when I was younger and made a disparaging comment about a grossly overweight
martial arts instructor - the kind of mistake you don't make twice.
Years ago, I used to love to watch "The Gong Show", especially the acts that would come out to get gonged on PURPOSE.
Some of the acts, it was much like those kids who came on "American Idol" though, convinced they were talented, when they didn't
have a chance. One girl came out, got gonged almost immediately, and then began to berate the judges, and asked Nell Carter if SHE
could do any better.
Now even I knew this was a huge mistake. A lot of people just knew her as a comedian, but back then even
I knew she got her
career START on Broadway. She shrugged, came out and NAILED it and sent the obnoxious kid home. You could almost see the look
in Nell's face as if to say "ya think because I'm fat and funny that I can't sing? Take a powder, sweetheart".
