    A Tale of Hubris:

    I could whip my genius-level college gf at backgammon, all day, all night. Bragged. Friend dropped his gf off for the challenge. “She’s pretty good man!” “Whatever.”

    That woman whipped me stupid. Over and over and over again. I felt like a toddler.

    I am no longer a proud man. I know my place.
