Drunkard and the lady





One day, I witnessed a hilarious exchange between a talkative, drunken man and a female schoolteacher.
The man was bragging loudly, trying to elevate himself. He claimed he was a "man of action" who had accomplished great things, implying that the female teacher achieved nothing in comparison.
Calmly, the teacher pulled out her phone, opened her gallery, and showed him a photo of a beautiful house. "Do you have a house like this?" she asked.
Staggering on his feet, the man pulled out his own phone. He scrolled through his gallery, showed her a photo of a random woman, and said, "This is my wife, I really love her" The teacher just laughed.
Trying to prove her point further, the teacher showed him another photo. This time, it was a handsome young man. "This is my boy," she said proudly. "I love him so much. I invested heavily in his future, and he is now thriving at the university."
Not to be outdone, the drunk man stumbled, tapped his screen, and proudly thrust his phone in her face. The screen showed a photo of various fruits. "Well, I love these!" he declared loudly. "This is where all my money goes!"
The teacher burst out laughing, completely amused by his ridiculous comparison.

I don't see why she felt a need to prove such a thing to him.
