Did you ever know someone who, in his mind, knows how to do everything but in reality knows nothing?  This is the story of Albert, the man who thought he knew too much.  Ron, no matter what the subject, or task at hand, always.  He always had the answers, and he always had been there and done that.

Ron didn’t really know squat, but after hearing about it all, we, his friends came up with a little joke.  Ron said he knew a lot of people.  The joke goes like this.  I asked Ron if he knew an airplane pilot.  He said he did.  I asked Ron if he knew a preacher, he told me he did.  I then said, “I’ll bet you don’t know the Pope?”  He then took me by the hand and tossed me in his car.  We drove to where the Pope happened to be making an appearance.  He told me he would be right back.  The crowd was roaring a thousand plus.  Ron made his way to the front when I lost sight of him.  Just then the Pope appears from a balcony five floors up waving to the people.  A moment passes when I saw Ron walk out onto the balcony standing next to the Pope.  A man standing next to me said,  “Who the heck is that?”  I replied, “That’s Ron.”  The guy said, “No, I mean the guy standing next to Ron?”

So, when I needed to rent heavy equipment for my yard I came up with the back hoe.  It can dig and move earth and all I needed to do was to learn how to work it.  Ron said, “That’s easy.”  He proceeded to jump on the machine and it started to move.  I was impressed, that is until the machine was finished moving the earth, my well, my car, my spare bedroom.  He was riding the thing but it was out of control.  When all was said and done, we needed a real heavy equipment operator to remove the rubble that once was my yard, my home, my car.

Ron, well we all know someone like him.  They done all, and know everyone.  We never call these types out only let them do what they do, and say what they say, but we smile and let it go, and that my friends is better than arguing.  The Ron’s in our lives are Doctors, Lawyers, Shrinks, well not really but if this is what makes these types happy, whats the big deal?
