Ben Sheriff says these paragraphs (from the Times-- link requires coughing up sixty bucks!) are the funniest he's seen all year:
"It is always wonderful to watch a person raise himself beyond the level of others all around him with an air of utterly justified superiority.Such a person always reminds one of oneself. But it is just as amusing to watch a great person humbled, brought low, confused, defeated, saddened. He thought he was better than the rest of us, but he’s just like everybody else. Such a person always reminds one of ... other people."
