From the back of the head

Jules Feiffer cartoon. His archetypal loser character is at a party, where he is being conversationaly demolished by a square-jawed, pipe-smoking, painfully urbane guy. Finally, the nebbish has as much as he can take and screams "You dirty, lousy, cheaty rat!!!!!" As Mr. Urbanity smiles and says "Let us define your terms," the loser melts into a puddle of tapioca muttering "you can't win, you can't win, you can't win ...." is decreasing font sizes. I wanted to be the guy with the pipe, until I found out that everybody really hated him for being cooler, sharper, smarter, more educated, that kind of thing.
