Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
The rest of us are a bit crap.

By coincidence, I'm reading this now for reading group. It is funny! Maybe it's funnier to me because I work in a university (academics can be funny too, you know
)What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

What?
Oh yes. I've recommended it to many people. Starting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Donald Trump, Paris Hilton and the Kardashians. Unfortunately, they don't listen.
