My no-fail joke

I have a no-fail joke. I’ve had it since I was a child.

It’s my sprinting. Whenever I sprint, everyone laughs at me.

I don’t sprint as a joke. I always sprint seriously. But everyone laughs.

When I was young, I was a part-time actor. I needed to sprint in a scene. The director scolded me many times because he assumed that I was kidding. Of course, I was not.

When I was in my final year of high school, we needed to time our runs in P.E. class. As usual, all of my classmates started to laugh when I sprinted, except one person. He was a member of the track and field team.

After the run, he came to me and said, “I couldn’t believe you could run that fast with such bad running form. I wish you had joined our track and field team and studied effective running form. You could have won a major competition for high school students.”　

My running form was a joke, but my time wasn’t so bad.

My hidden talent was found in my last year of high school. If I had known it before, I could have had a wonderful high school life. In reality, I was a member of the drama club. I lost the smallest competitions every year.

I wish I had joined the track and field team instead of the drama club.

What is done cannot be undone.
