The running joke · 9:38pm Feb 21st, 2014
I had a lot of crazy ideas back in high school, so my friends would sometime poke fun at them. There was no harm in it, and It was all in good fun though.
One day one of my friends showed me a drawing his brother made. It made me laugh a little bit and I thought that was going to be the end of it. The original has been lost to the fires of dev/null. However, this recreation is not too far off; bad spelling and all.
Some months later were at a LAN party when a picture of some crazy project I was working on was circulating amongst my friends. When it finally got to me, I deadpanned. It was the picture that my friend’s brother drew.
Sensing my friends were just were messing with me as a joke, I played along. Everyone got a good laugh and we went back to our Quake II game.
I thought that night was going to be the end of that joke, but some months later it came up again. I just sort played it off as, “whatever,” and went about my business. Although infrequent, this photo and the joke keep popping up.
About ten years later were up in the mountains on a snow trip, and one of my friends brings it up again. I’m done, I’ve been shrugging off this inside joke for ten years and I finally hit that point where enough was enough.
“Guys, I didn’t draw this picture. So why do you keep bringing this up?” All of my friends in unison looked at that the person they got the picture from originally, which so happened to be the same person. He chuckled and fessed.
Had I not played along with the joke at the LAN party it would have ended there. But because I played along with it, they believed me. 
Woah. Ten years. That's almost as long as I've been alive. I don't think I would be able to put up with something like that that long.

I hardly ever get angry and I've been told my patience is that of stone. So that's probably why.
Granted it did take 10 years to finally wear me down.
2222304 I get angry really quickly even though I don't always show it. And I only have patience with a few things. Though if someone had started a joke on me ten years ago, I wouldn't have even understood. I was just a toddler ten years ago.

I'm sure jokes were made of you as a toddler, but you wouldn't have cared.
I have a memory of myself from back when I was two... but at this point in my life I can't tell if it's a real memory or an artificially created one.
2222506 No, I probably wouldn't have.
I have many definitely real memories from when I was three, and one or two of them when I was two.
