from a column called "The Straight Dope" by Chicagoan Cecil Adams:

"Cubs fans… let's just say history has taught them life is cruel, and that the law of averages is willing to make an exception in their case.

 

Keep this in mind when visiting Wrigley. All around you will be people aware that, based on what has happened over the past century, there's nothing to look forward to in the next one. It will be tempting to rub this in. You'll be sitting there...next to a glum-looking individual in blue, and after a beer or two you'll want to lean over and say, "So, what's it like knowing your team is always going to suck?"

 

Don't do this. Be nice. When the Cubs are at bat, for example, speak appreciatively of their T-ball-level achievements: "Oh, my. That was a well-hit ball. Too bad it was foul." This will endear you to Cubs fans. Setting aside those who get arrested for disorderly conduct, and when you're as drunk as they are it's hard to land a proper punch, you have nothing to fear from these people. Watching the Cubs has given them an attitude of Hindu-like resignation. "
