Mr. Fantastic

Ok, we all have this guy in our office. Mr. Fantastic! If you have trouble identifying this guy here are his most common attributes.

1. he wears Hawaiian shirts every day, while everyone else wears regular clothes.
2. no matter what you're talking about he has to butt into every conversation with this incomprehensible wit.
3. his jokes are usually lame and nonsensical. Everyone laughs because they don't get it.
4. if you're telling a joke in the office he butts in and steals your thunder. His usual thunder stealing method is to finish the joke before you do or make a distracting side joke while you're talking.
5. he always has a comment for everything, and he expects everything to be a jewel.
6. well known for using phrases like "upon the morrow" and "absotutely."

The worst part about this guy is that you can't complain about him because, you guessed it, every one loves him. More often than not his humor is just plain rude. It's like he's some movie that every one likes and talks about, but you thought sucked.

Informing the "slack jawed yokels" at your work about him will fall on deaf ears. They are too awe struck about his magnificence.

And while you may think that this is mere jealousy keep in mind that this guy floats around looking for conversations to butt into just to upstage the person speaking. It's just unfortunate that I'm the only one that sees it.
