Have you heard? I’m part of the 1%.

Why are you bragging about that?

The 1%. It means I’m in the top 1%.

Congratulations.

You don’t understand. It means I’m now a member of the 1% of people who own more than the bottom 90% combined.

And you feel good about that?

Of course. I am now proven to be better than most people now I am in the 1%.

Because money means you are a better person?

Exactly.

I think you belong in the 1%.

Thanks. Of course, your opinion means nothing to me. But thanks.

Excuse me, I think I hear morality calling. I better be off.

Oh, don’t bother with that nonsense. Overrated. I find acute narcissism is much more effective.

Goodbye.

Do come follow my blitherings if you feel that way inclined.
