Anecdote: At last I’ve met a man more stupid than myself.” “There is an old legend about a man who had a rather stupid servant. The master often got exasperated with his servant. One day in a fit of frustration he said to the servant, “You’ve got to be the stupidest man I’ve ever met. Look, I want you to take this staff and carry it with you. And if you ever meet a man stupider than you are, give him the staff.” So, the servant carried the staff. Often out in the marketplace, he’d meet some pretty stupid people. But he was never sure they were worse off than he. Years passed with the servant carrying his staff. Then one day, he came back to the castle and was ushered into the bedroom of his master. His master was quite sick. In the course of their conversation, the master said, “I’m going on a long journey.” The servant said, “When do you plan to be back?” The master said, “This is a journey from which I’ll not return.” The servant said, “Sir, have you made all the necessary preparations?” The master said, “No, I have not.” The servant said, “Could you have made preparations?” The master said, “Yes, I guess I’ve had my life to make them, but I’ve been busy about other things.” The servant said, “Master, you’re going on a journey from which you’ll never return, you could’ve prepared for it, and you just didn’t?” The master said, “Yes, I guess that’s right.” The servant took the staff he’d carried so long and said, “Master take this with you. At last, I’ve met a man more stupid than myself!” (https://frtonyshomilies.com/).
