The powdered asses would just turn their noses up at kids who didn't have 20 different outfits to wear at school. We knew them, but they never knew us. I went to a car dealership to buy my wife a new car a few years ago and the car dealer happen to be one of those powdered asses I went to school with for three years. The SOB didn't remember me even after I told him who and the fuck I was! He lost that sale!
