The man is a walking self detractor. However, his ego will not allow himself to be seen as a dupe. No, in his own mind he will rise above the snub and issue glowing reports of how well his visit went up to including the point that no one wished to detract from his victory by sharing a place on the public stage with him.

Now, that is some funny stuff right there!! (Grin)
