I was just talking about the main character in my life with renown social ineptitude. So, story time falls to me now!

So, my first week at college, it was a new experience of determining a totally new cast of characters in the play of life. Pretty soon, I realized that this kid named Joel was remarkably incapable of interpersonal relations, and many others observed as well. His reactions were so comical in cases that I had no idea how serious it was.

Anyways, in the Winter of 2003, he was living in a room attached to that of one of my friends. My friend observed that he put a sticker on his mirror with the name "Joel" on it, and we devised many theories as to why he would do that. When I was out for the Spring, my friends took to placing the exact same type of sticker over it that said "Larry". On a weekly basis, it'd be torn off and replaced with a Joel sticker, only to be replaced again with Larry a few hours later. At a party where my two involved friends and Joel attended, he made some remark about how he had theories about who was doing it and why. At that moment, my friends related, they realized that they were on a mission from God to seriously fuck with his head.

So, what happened from there was my friends took a picture of the mirror in such a way as to not include a reflection. From there, they had it photoshopped to several variations to include a number of characters standing alone in front of it holding stickers saying "Larry". The idea was to just send the best example to him in the mail, but there were two that were just absolutely fucking perfect. One had a guy dressed as a private dick hunched beside the mirror with a Larry sticker, and the other had a middle-aged man in a bathrobe with a huge smile holding a Larry sticker. These photos were given to a third party, who mailed them anonymously from a nondescript location to Joel. Weeks later, at a party that Joel and one of my involved friends attended, he pulled out the pictures and started talking about how he was pretty sure that the private dick was a guy on the 10th floor of the dorm whom he'd seen around a few times.

Now, this was the epic part: someone asked him, "so, how do you explain the other picture, then?" His response: "Can't you tell it's a MASK?"
