Oh come on and admit it
You love administering a good case of humiliation as much as the rest of us (and from what I can tell you're damned good at it).
Of course the target must fully deserve it or there's no real challenge to it but any old salt can't walk away from delivering a good can of intellectual whup-ass to some pasty-faced, smart-ass punk.
One of my all time favorite scenes in a movie is where Matt Damon makes mental mincemeat of some neuronal midget in a Boston bar. Those lines were worth the price of admission right there.
