America only exports its second-tier idiots - we keep the best for ourselves
Not exactly overheard when it is aimed right at one's own self, but...

Went for an interview with an unnamed coffee company (rhymes with unfiltered Starwatermelons), asked the usual "what can you offer this company" crap.

Attempted to say something about my intelligence and level-headedness, when the interviewer, quite seriously, said "That doesn't really count for much, does it? I mean, I'm not smart, and look how far I've gotten!"

He would have been my boss. I didn't take the job.
