Ordinary fellow named Joe, celebrating his birthday in a crowded restaurant, addressed friends, gathering of staff and patrons.

"As some of you know, I am turning 32 today!"

Rounds of applause!

"I've had a great day! This morning, I won $50 from the Lottery! The parking meter already had 12 minutes on it.! But more importantly, this summer I'll graduate with my Ph.D.!"

Rounds of applause!

A supermodel some tables over, getting up to witness the hullabaloo, accidentally stubbed her toe. "Umph!" Upon hearing her distress, everyone ran to her, showering platitudes, leaving Joe to submerge back into obscure mediocrity.
