There’s one in every crowd.

It’s the guy who seems to think that what he has to say is more important than anything else anyone might be interested in, or trying to listen to. For example, the other night we were watching a news report about the terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal and other hotels in India. This guy announces, “I’ll tell you something about terrorists,” … and launches into his pontification on the subject. Others in the room are inching closer to the television, perking their ears and rolling their eyes. Yet he goes on for a good ten minutes
about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

On another occasion, while watching a football game, he decided it was time to get on his pulpit and preach about what he would do if he owned a football team. Yet another time he picked the middle of a good western movie to tell us all the history of Jon Ford, the renowned movie director.

You can’t tell a guy like this to pipe down, or wait for a commercial. He has no concept of courtesy. He has something to say and, by gum, he’s going to say it. Tick him off, and his speech turns into a lengthy tirade on how ignorant you are for not wanting to know what he’s going on about.

I’m sure everyone knows someone like that.
