      The Fine Art of Getting Even - Richard Krause

      Foreword

      For more years than I care to think about, several of my friends and associates have kiddingly said that I had an evil, wicked, mean, and nasty mind. They have asked me when I was going to write all of my evil tricks down and share them with the world.

      Usually, during an evening of indulgents while consuming massive quantities of Rocky Mountain Silver Bullets assisted by that notorious Pirate Captain.

      In the six and a half decades I have been on this ball of dirt we call the Earth. I have had a few occasions when I have run afoul of certain other individuals for one reason or another and have had the thought of dastardly revenge and payback, come sweetly to my mind. It has been during those moments of pain and disappointment that I have developed the methods and schemes approached in this work.

      Then several months ago, while sitting and talking to my three best friends, Lexi Lu, Aesop, and Kodiak, my three pups. I proposed the idea of actually writing a work on the subject. I decided that I wanted to compose it as a comical approach to getting even, revenge and payback. They seemed to agree that it would be a good idea, or at less they did not disagree. That of course may have had something to do with the treats I had in hand at the time.

      At any rate we decided that at the very least it would relieve the boredom of being old, broke and depressed!

      And that is how the project got started. I am very happy to say that now in the winter of my life, that I have not enacted many of the schemes laid out in this work. Not, mind you because they do not work. But rather because I have an extremely healthy respect for Karma! I have learned in my sixty five years of life that everything is on the wheel. Everything you say, do, or enact, be it good, bad, or indifferent will at some point come back to you in one way or another.

      With that being said, please enjoy the read and have fun. Hopefully few of you will ever indulge yourselves in more than the planning stage.

      Have fun, be careful, and be smart.

      Epilogue / Also Know As The End

      Chapter 1 / Planning

      So, hello all of you out there that have been put upon, snubbed, downgraded, cheated on, overlooked or just plain shit on. By some self-satisfying, inconsiderate jackass that thinks his shorts do not stink.

      In the pages of this manuscript we will attempt to show you how you may be able to teach this asshole a lesson or two. Or at least get some satisfaction from returning the pain you have had to its source.

      Now we all know that you are an angel and would never do anything wrong.

      But every so often even the best of us has a run in with some evil wrong doer that thinks they have the right to treat us as if we do not matter.

      It may have been a coworker or a boyfriend or a husband, or even heaven forbid a girlfriend or wife. Or it might be a neighbor, brother, cousin, aunt, uncle, shopkeeper, waitress or waiter, or even a customer.

      In today’s society it could be almost anyone. We are all subject to misuse by others that really have no right consuming oxygen. It is the sign of the times. It is these dastardly individuals that bring out the devil in all of us.

      Most of the time, we just ignore these cretins and go on with our life as if nothing has happened. But, sometimes the affront has been so damaging that we are unable to let it go.

      Those are the times when we decide that we have to do something.

      The first thing we have to remember is that any action needs a plan. Failing to plan is the same thing as planning to fail.

      One of the biggest mistakes that most people make is that they try to retaliate when they are mad. Do not get mad, instead get even!

      The next mistake that many make is the belief that it is necessary to let the subject of you wrath know that his/her come-up-pence is on its way to their doorstep. Always remember that revenge is a dish best served cold!

      The less your enemy knows about what you plan the better. You know why, what is about to befall him/her is all about. They do not need too. Let it be a surprise, you will enjoy it more, and it will keep them wondering what just flipping hit them.

      After all they did not warn you when they did the dastardly deed to you that caused you to decide to seek revenge. Did they?

      Chapter 2 /Phase 1 /The Recon

      So okay here we go. Are you sure you want to do this? Remember Newton’s Law of Motion is in effect in all things.

      For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

      Yes, Grasshopper, we are talking Science here!

      Now every good Pot-Metal General knows that the secret to a good battle plan is massive amounts of good and accurate information about the other guy.

      It is possible that you already know everything there is to know about the subject of your wrath. Such as where he or she lives, where they work, what they like to eat or drink, what kind of car they drive or do not drive. If they like cats or dogs (note: You can tell a lot about a person with this information). But, most likely not, after all if you knew that much about them you would not have allowed yourself to be taken in. Would you have?

      For the sake of argument, let us say you do not know that much about the scum sucking, bottom feeding, worm that has done you wrong.

      In fact you barely know him, her, them
