Some Things Don’t Deserve to be Recycled

So Godless Girl wrote a post called “Tract Evangelism” that reminded me of a fun incident from my college days. I was talking with my boss, my boss’s wife, and coworker friends at a tailgate party in the Glass Bowl parking lot. While I was in the middle of delivering what I’m sure was a profound commentary on something relevant, some girl shoves one of these tracts in front of me and said, “Do you ever wonder what will happen to you after you die?” Without missing a beat I took the tract being “offered” to me, said, “No, I’m not really superstitious,” and tossed the tract into the garbage can next to me, continuing the conversation with my friends. I was proud of myself that day because people thought I was witty and shocking. I’m not usually such a dick, but goddamn it she interrupted me!

Was that wrong of me?
