Nice 55F!
Some people always want to be first, even when being first does not matter at all.
@Proactive Indian, yes, for whatever reason the competitive instinct in them is so strong that they just have to be the first at whatever they do, don’t they?
Good one 🙂
@Diwakar, thank you 🙂
Hmm! And who will be the wise-ass then? 🙂 Good one.
@Suresh, given that there were only 55 words allowed, I will go ahead and be the ‘wise ass’ for this time 😉
Ha ha ha. There’s always one, isn’t there? Thanks for linking up!

Lovely 55 words:)
@Vishal, thank you so much 🙂
Either way he was an ass! 😉
Like the new look of your blog.
