Best Man. Better Man.
Watch Best Man Justin Evans yuck it up at Josh’s expense at his recent wedding. While the interpretive dance is what people are going to remember, “I’m not the Best Man. Just a great guy” was my favorite part of the speech. For the rest of my life, whenever appropriate, I plan to overuse that the way people use “That’s what she said.”
“I’m not a distinguished alumnus. Just a great guy.”
“I’m not this parade’s Grand Marshal. Just a great guy.”
“I’m not the superintendent of schools. Just a great guy.”
One day, I’ll be in a conversation where that comeback makes sense. And I’ll be ready.
