Dont get mad, get even!

They say living well is the best revenge but I think some great satisfaction can come from a well plotted and executed course of action.

A couple of months ago a dear friend called me on the phone needing my assistance.  She just KNEW I was the right person to call.  She is recently divorced from a royal jerk (not just my assessment, ask anyone who knew him) and her kids had gone out of state for their scheduled visitation of him.  When she picked the kids up at the airport upon their return, they discovered that the dad's cellphone had inadvertantly made the trip in the kids luggage.  He called in a panic and demanded she overnight the phone back as his whole (unbackedup) life was stored on that device! 

I told her it was not a problem, I would take care of everything.  I picked it up, wrapped it well, and Fed Ex'd it out.  The next day he called to verify that he received it, but he was livid!  Apparently somehow, either the machines at the Fed Ex plant or something in transit caused the phone to be wiped completely clean and reset it to its original factory settings.  Oh my!  Imagine that!  What a terrible shame! 

Although living well might indeed be the best revenge... I agree more with Lord Byron, who wrote, "Sweet is revenge, especially to women."

Now come on...thats not the worst thing you've ever heard, or maybe even done....
