Step 1:
|
As citizens of New York City, we were born with the understanding that we are superior. |
Step 2:
|
We realized that there is no place greater than New York City. The rest of the world is totally barbaric. |
Step 3:
|
We became adept at manipulating as many people as possible into turning their lives over to our management, even though they may not fully understand our superior talent. |
Step 4:
|
We made a complete and fearless moral inventory of every single acquaintance, no matter how insignificant they may be. |
Step 5:
|
We publicly proclaimed the exact nature of their ignorance and their mistakes.
|
Step 6:
|
We assumed our natural role of reminding everyone else how to straighten up and fly right. |
Step 7:
|
We demanded that people who were unable to accept our guidance either shape up or ship out. |
Step 8:
|
We made a list of all persons who had harmed us, and we became willing to do just about anything to get rid of them all. |
Step 9:
|
We took revenge on such people whenever possible, except when to do so would endanger our own lives or increase our chances of spending serious time in jail. |
Step10:
| We continued to take the moral inventory of others, and when they were wrong, we promptly and repeatedly informed them about it. |
Step11:
|
We sought through complaining and nagging to compel others to submit to our will, asking only that they cave in, knuckle under, and do things our way. |
Step12:
| Having had a complete emotional breakdown as a result of these steps, we
blamed it all on our Higher Power, AND THEN WE MOVED TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!
