[self-congratulation]
because of posting on messageboards.
It's been a little less than a year that I've been posting on these boards here, but I have noticed a significant improvement in the speed of my wit thanks to it.
I'm in a 40-hour a week conentrated MBA program with the same 51 people every day, and so there are countless opportunties where one could pipe in with a wise-ass comment. But the thing is knowing when you've got a good line, and when to hold it in. My success rate in the class is stuff of legends now. People ask me to teach them, but alas, I wouldn't know where to start.
My experiences here have sharpened the speed, quality, and content (using less words is always funnier) to heights I wouldn't think was possible.
I can honestly say that I've gotten laid from saying witty things that I probably wouldn't have come up with a year ago.
I can't be the only one that has gotten so much real-life personality improvement off of this type of communication.
