Anyone else inventing your own "scar story"

[DoomRulz]

Just what the title says. I figure it would boost the performance for those of us who want to be the best Joker possible.

I came up with one on the bus today on the way to school: here's what it involves.

Growing up, Joker=loner
Mom=very very strict
Dad=never knew him
One day, Joker (child) comes from school and gets into trouble with his teacher; disobeyed for w/e reason
Mom says you should never disobey; picks up a steak knife
Sticks the blade in my mouth; "Now you'll always obey!"

Haven't quite fleshed it out yet, but that's the rough outline.

Any others?

i think the key to the 'scar story' is that he's using the story intimidate someone... because the joker derives pleasure from the fear he sees in the person's eyes. So, its not so much of a sit around a campfire and tell you about it kind of deal... so, if i had to come up with one... it would take place in a bar...

Joker strolls into a honky tonk, steel guitars twanging among the ambient bar babble. He pulls a stool up next to a large man in a cowboy hat drinking a beer.

The cowboy looks over and catches a glimpse of the joker and can't seem to take his eye's off the odd character. The joker turns his head slightly and makes eye contact. The cowboy finds the nerve to scough and looks back across the bar.

Joker: "Say, straaanger? You look familiar."
Cowboy: *laughing* "I'd reckon if I had met a freak like you before, hah, I'd remember."
Joker: "No, no, no... I think, yeah, I remember now... you were in movie.."
Cowboy: "Eh? Movi-"
Joker: "Yeah yeah yeah... what was the name? Uhm... Brokeback Mountain!" *grins*

Livid, the cowboy stands up abruptly and breaks his beer bottle across the edge of the bar with a yell. As he turns, the joker swiftly moves in and and snaps his switchblade, meeting the inside of the cowboy's cheeks as soon as it was released. With a groan and a long pause, the cowboy looks into the jokers eyes and glances at his scars.

"Oh, you like my scars? Funny story. See, I used to be into the, bar scene... like yourself. Years back, a friend and I would go alllll over town hitting joint after joint. BUT, that became... what, whats the word... *licks lip* BORING. So, we started amping up on some of the good stuff, you know, before we'd go out. Well, one night... what we thought was some good stuff... well... turned out to be some bad stuff. REAL bad. *licks lip* Hah, so that night, my friend turned on me... hitting me, kicking... I grabbed a knife and gutted him like a fish. When I woke up, covered in blood... I couldn't believe what I'd done... *shakes head* MY BEST FRIEND! I took the knife to my own face... did all this... made me feel ALOT better. After that, I put down the dope... put down the bottle. But you know what..? Hmm? *licks lips, grits teeth* I just could never seem to put down the KNIFE!"

BEST LINE EVER!!!

Your 'scar story' was brilliant! Just wanted to let you know! I literally busted out laughing at the end. I can imagine that the cowboy's eyes were as big as saucers! Now you have me wanting to write a scar story of my own!

Do you care if I share your story with a few friends on my blog JScott? I'll give you credit of course!

"Well you see, once upon a time, me, I used to work at the postal service.*licks lips* I worked in the *pause* sorting department. *gets closer* And I just loved to lick the *hand motion* evnvelopes. So, one day, this letter comes in. Its not sealed, at all. I spot it, coming down the tray. I run to grab it. I stick it in my mouth.....And then Ha! Paper cut smiiiiiiiile!

Or

Ya see, I used to work in a diner. It was horrible, lowest of the low, ya know what I meen? Well, one day, I'm working the breakfast shift. An order comes in for some toast. So, I look at it. I run to grab the bread, *gets more excited* I grab the butter, *grabs you by the shirt* I stick the knife in it, and I just butter that toast. Well, ya see, I love butta. So I stick the knife, in my mouth. And then, the manager comes in. *goes from quiet to excited again* And he can't stand the site of me! He yells, and I turns around, and when I do, the knife, it ahh, it slips. So there I am, standing with the butter in one hand, and the knifes on the floor, and I've got this smile, on my face. And you know what they've called me ever sence? Hm? *grins and gets close to your face* Butter fingers.

I could really hear Heath Ledger's Joker voice when I was reading this. Great story!
