people sometimes get a skewed sense of themselves. take the following quote about allen iverson (the 76er point guard):

"...A jury will sort out the facts. In the meantime, Iverson was asked to come to D.C. to give a deposition to the plaintiff’s lawyers.

Washington and Philadelphia are just a couple of hours apart. You can get there by air shuttle, by train or by car. But Iverson asked the judge to allow him to give the deposition in Philadelphia because, he argued, if he has to go to Washington – his hometown and one that he visits frequently – he’d have to get up early in the morning and pay a limo for the trip.

He couldn’t take a train, because people would recognize him, his lawyers said, and if that happened, then his crew might have to beat somebody up for the crime of saying hello. So he has to drive, and, given that he’s such an important person, he apparently can’t possibly drive himself.

The judge, U.S. Magistrate Deborah A. Robinson, read the request, rejected it, and told him to get his all-important and spoiled butt down to Washington and give the deposition.

It renewed our hope that perhaps there is justice in this world after all." (from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3298669/ )
