Off on the Yankees discussion forum, where the adults passionately write about the teams they love (or hate) and the other posters, whom they love (or hate), a poster 'penned' the following classic rebuttal to somebody who accused her of lack of humility:

And don't you ever preach to me about humility. I have more humility in my little finger than you have in your entire body

That just says it all, doesn't it?

Is it a safe assumption to make that the person who made this claim, is, in fact, a yankees fan?

While what you say is true, it is not relevant (though that would be her claim if somebody tried to point out the irony to her).

"If there's a person here more humble than me, I'd like him to stand up and say so!"

Got your message about rainbow brains. Was amused. ^_^ (Was a nice interlude to my response paper to a clinical study on pure word deafness in monkeys and humans, and so rather appropriate, too.)

Also: from weird coincidence land, somebody else is apparently having similar problems.
