I have this persistent vision of a retired World Leaders' cocktail party,
with a conversation whcih goes something like this:

"Hi, I'm Yiztak and I won a Nobel Peace Prize.  This is Yassir, and he won
one too."

"Pleased to meet you.  I'm Bill and I got a hummer in the Oval Office of
the White House."

silence.

I mean, that pretty much trumps everything, doesn't it?
