Apparently this happened with one very humble politician (yes, they do exist, apparently!). Note the two apparentlys in the same sentence!
So said politician was invited to an important function.
Instead of sitting in the first row, which he could have, he and his family went and sat in the last row instead.
The event organizer realized this in some time, and came huffing and puffing to said politician.
“Sir! How can someone as distinguished as yourself, be sitting so far behind, that too on the last row?! Please come with me, and I’ll put you on the first row.”
The down-to-earth politician replied, “Not needed at all, I’m perfectly fine here. At the very least, being in the last row already means you won’t need me to move further behind to make space for more important people!”
Humility + humor is a deadly combo!
