My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

This seems a test for rich pretentious types rather than upper class. What about upper class families who lost everything? What about self-made working-class entrepreneurs who splash their cash on the 'right' things? Isn't being upper class all about breeding and upbringing, I thought upper class people looked down on those who achieve that list through hard work?

Side question - do you view being upper class as a good thing, or do you think being wealthy middle-class is preferred?

Answering what you would LIKE the answers to be might be more interesting too.

Years ago I took our cat on a train (in a cat basket). It had the same effect.

I used to take Orchids to shows by train.

It would make a change for women to ask to see your pussy on a train.

I was given a Mickey Mouse watch for fun once (recently, I mean, not while a child) and I wore it for fun. I was quite surprised how many women struck up a conversation based on it.
