I am pretty strongly affected by the environment that I'm in, so this post really hits home for me, but there's a conflict I can't resolve about always being the worst x in your collective noun: Why would a collective that is better than you, which probably subscribes to this moderately common notion, hire you? I guess Harpo had the same problem. |

Actually it was Groucho who uttered the phrase to which you refer. However a little research shows that it was apparently originally from the "Forsyte Saga" novels about edwardian era upper-middle-class british life. You learn something new every day.
