Someone who works their guts out for nothing for someone that thinks they have done nothing and deserve what they get, nothing.

We have to remember that those that can afford the quality boats, believe that we are priveledged to be allowed to even step onto their toys, why would you want to be paid as well.

Self deprecation is a cathartic experience (don't know what that means but it sounds good)....

Masalai, you have given us all something to aspire to. Well done indeed! Except for the delusions of grandeur that is: most of us can only manage delusions of adequacy. I looked up cathartic since you are too lazy to do so: means purgative; I don't know what that means but it sounds like another reference to wanking.

It means that a good vomit is good for the soul.... (self insult is similar to vomiting up/out the bad inside one)
