beware of sharp tongues!

i do not like- let's fix that- i am not fit for today's culture of jesting and "playing around."
we became verbal contenders, armed with words of wit and rapid remarks, sharpening our tongues while playfully joking among friends and family. it is fun. when you have successfully "burned" someone, or when you admit that what your friend has said about you is quite true. i can handle truth, especially when it's delivered so insidiously. but back to my point, i am not fit for the way people interact nowadays. i am not quick enough for sarcastic comments, nor am i prepared for rebuttals on spot. im just not wired that way. i prefer to keep my tongue dull and blunted.
don't get me wrong, i love this sport. i just love watching it.
