One of the most obnoxious people I ever sat in class with demonstrated the truth of Franklin's dictum, "Considering that in conversation knowledge was obtained rather by the use of the ears than of the tongue, I gave Silence second place among the virtues I determined to cultivate."
The class was advanced financial institutions and the professor had been teaching and more importantly advancing his knowledge of the subject for decades. And this guy just would not shut up. Most of this is in retrospect, however. At the time, I was a much different person.
