"Oh hear the sad tale of Jonathon Gray,
Who died defending his right of way.
He was right, dead right, as he sped along-
But he's just as dead as if he'd been dead wrong."

well, 'almost' relevant.

I knew a lady once who was very smart & clever and, in my opinion, usually right in disputes....but she had no idea how to be right. She stuck her chin out and dared anyone to challenge her...so naturally they did, which angered her so much she sputtered and fumed and did a lousy job of presenting her point.


Remember the old definition of a diplomat?

"A man who can tell you to go to Hell and have you looking forward to the trip!"
