When I was 18, I knew more than I should, and I knew that I didn't know nearly enough of what it is that I should know, what to know, or could know. I was in a class at Mercer University. The teacher had us fill out this long questionnaire for a "test" that would supposedly give us our biological rhythm. She said my rhythm was like a brain surgeon's. I was in another class, and we had to write something on what we would leave behind as our legacy. At the end of the class, the first teacher came in to talk to the other teacher. She noticed me, "Oh you have him too," she said. She pointed her finger at me and then said to the other teacher, "He is one of those." Now, I have had a few similar experiences along these lines with other teachers in my life. I had a moderate experience like that today with a history teacher, who ironically enough was interested in entertaining me on "future" thoughts.
My question is, what exactly is ... "one of those?" How should I take that, if at all. Do "one of those" take things like this into consideration? If I am one of those (it tends to make me think-dangerous I know) .... "Who are they," which think I am "one of those?"
"Who do they think they are?" Who do they think I am? Don't take this too seriously, but take it seriously enough. What? I saw a sign on my way back from class that read, "Do unto others as you were an other." It made me think of that teacher that called me "one of those," and now I am thinking about the people on Lost referred to as "The Others."
Does it even matter who they think they are, I am, or if I am one of those?

It was expected, on both accounts.

There is nothing wrong at all with feeling special about yourself.
Some may suggest that it IS an inherent part of our nature.
Really, im twice as special as you

"One of those" ... They commonly refer to students such as yourself as "special ed".

The chorus girl improves on the original humour by introducing an off-stage group of characters (teachers) and making a comment on their behalf - with comedic effect. To emphasize the cleverness of the comment the chorus line all roll on the floor laughing their asses off for 3.6 seconds. If MJ was the only tiresome half-wit I wouldn't mind - but there's a lot of them - too many?

It seems the chorus line doesn't just do 'comedic effect' (badly) - it also does malice (rather well).
