Quote by Scott Hamilton

What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating.

What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys

Summary

This quote highlights the irony of a situation where individuals who previously mocked and belittled the speaker for being a figure skater, later wanted to befriend them. As the speaker grew older, their social status changed, and those who ostracized them in junior high school sought their friendship for personal gain. The humor lies in the fact that these individuals recognized the benefits of being associated with someone who had connections in the figure skating world, specifically with meeting girls.
