Humans are vain... from Greek Mythology in Narcissus to more recent times with the Vanessa Hudgens scandal... to yourselves! In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a handsome youth who rejected the desperate advances of the nymph Echo. As punishment, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. It is from this story that the word narcissism is derived from, which is the excessive love or admiration of oneself and is a psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem in the extreme state - but can also be used to describe the attribute of the human psyche that everyone has which is charactised by admiration of oneself.

I was going through some old Seinfeld episodes when I caught this quote - perhaps the best and most comedic way to end a conversation with Telemarketers:

[Jerry Answers the Phone]
Telemarketer: "Hi, would you be interested in switching over to TMI long distance service?"
Jerry: "Oh Gee, I can't talk right now..why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you later."

Telemarket: "..no"
Jerry: "Well you know how I feel"
