Q. Who is the most misunderstood figure in popular history?

A. Goliath

Think about it. The poor guy was just a big galoot, slower than most, tapped on one shoulder and when he turned, the Davids amongst us had darted to his other side.

Whaaaaaa? poor Goliath would say, while we, as Davids, would elbow our friends in mocking derision.

In class, he didn't get any of the many jokes that were at his expense.

Poor Goliath, you dumb ox. You couldn't help who you became.
