Ahhhh... 'tis just.  The jocks at my typical American high school were
high on the pecking order but unfortunately for them low on intelligence
and perception.  Where are they today?  Swilling beer in front of the
television.  Married/divorced/re-married.  Re-living adolecent glories
at the local redneck bar...

Oddly enough, the "geeks" who were lousy at sports and ostracised by
everyone, turned out to be among the most successful.  In this age of
computers and high-technology, it's not the jock that gets the good
job and the classy girls, it's the nerd who once sported the
slide-rule on his belt.

Success is the best revenge.
