it's hard to tell who will come up trumps.

Buh-dum-tish.

It's possible for the book-smart people to have street-smarts also, but less likely someone with street-smarts has book-smarts if you know what I mean, so I'd say there'll be a few kick-arse "book-smarts" who also have the street cred and will do well.

Yes, Nick, that's exactly what I'm saying - the drug dealers and prostitues will win the world.

It's never too late to start selling your body on street corners.

My great grandmother was a prostitute.

And Jon Voight's character in Midnight Cowboy is actually based on my uncle.

So it looks like I'll be good in this respect.

Not everything's about you.

No, in this case it is about my family.

And that's actually the truth about my great grandmother. The first woman in NSW to have a legal abortion.

Okay, fair point.

But I did mention three other people in that, which has to be an all-time first.

Gosh, even in the person above you thread I often post about myself. I'm very self-aware, aren't I?

Anyways, putting prostitutes and drug dealers aside, I think Trump chooses whoever everybody else wants to win. So, it's neither.

Well, it's not really self-centredness or anything like that, so I figured that would be the most applicable word for what I am.

No, well self-centredness insinuates that I only care about myself and have little to no respect for people around me. Which I say is definitely not true.

I'm vain, perhaps, but not self-centred.
