It was a long-haul flight from coast to coast, the kind of journey that tests the limits of even the most seasoned traveler’s patience.
As the plane droned on through the endless expanse of sky, the passengers settled into their seats, bracing themselves for the hours ahead.
Among them was John, a mild-mannered businessman who had hoped to catch up on some much-needed rest during the flight.
However, John’s nap was quickly derailed by the incessant chatter of the man seated beside him, a man whose propensity for self-aggrandizement seemed to know no bounds.
From the moment the plane took off, the man launched into a relentless monologue, regaling John with tales of his supposed exploits and accomplishments.
The man boasted about his vast knowledge on subjects ranging from history and politics to the intricacies of quantum physics, leaving no stone unturned in his quest to establish his intellectual superiority.
John, ever the polite listener, nodded and smiled, hoping that his forced engagement would eventually lead to a reprieve.
But as the hours ticked by, the man showed no signs of slowing down his self-adulation, his voice droning on like a monotonous metronome.
Finally, John could take no more.
Mustering his courage, he turned to the man and fixed him with a grave expression:
“My friend,” he began, his tone solemn, “are you aware that between us, you and I know all that there is to know in the universe?”
The man’s eyes widened, a self-satisfied grin spreading across his face.
“How is that?” he asked, clearly pleased by what he perceived as a complimentary association.
John leaned in closer, his gaze unwavering.
“Well,” he continued, “you know everything there is to know, except that you are a bore. And as it turns out, I know for absolute certain that you are just that!”
