Tom Knows every thing,... Except?

Ever met a person who thinks he knows every thing or Let me put it this way, Some one who think he is The smartest and others are absolutely dump (while the truth is the reverse). Let me introduce you to Tom.

Tom knows every thing in the world. At least that is what he thought.  He waits for you to stop to start his speech. Few months back I told him I am going to visit the “Eiffel tower” and then he started. “Do you know how tall it is? Do you know who build it?  I had climbed to the top of it bla blab la ….” I felt I should not have told him.

I felt pity for Kathy, Tom and Kathy are married for long and I wondered how she put up with him.

 Few days later when I was in search for a job he told , not to worry at all, he can easily sponsor a job for me and I just need to do this, this, and that… However, nothing happened.

Other day when I went to the Golden Valley super market, I was so excited to see the place after the remodel Tom told he was the main architect and the main brain behind it. Two days later Tom quit the contract with Golden Valley, Reason -"They don't consider my ideas"  :)

We met one day at a party and while having dinner topic came to global warming. Tom started “Every thought why its so hot in India, Its so close to the equator…. “Oh my god! I just managed to escape.

When I was down with pneumonia, he suggested me to have tender coconut daily and it’s the best medicine. I was shouting in my mind “If you think it’s the best medicine then why the hell don’t you get some tender coconut while you come “ . I just said “Thank you”.

I was surprised the other day when Kathy called and she said she is pregnant (for the 5th time). I felt happy for them. I wished Kathy, but then Tom was upset, he did not know when and how this happened. I kept the receiver back and just busted out laughing.
