This is a question "Needless to say, I had the last laugh"

Celebrity autobiographies are filled to the brim with self-righteous tales of smug oneupmanship. So, forget you had any shame, grab a coffee and a croissant, and tell us your smug tales of when you got one over somebody.

Thanks to Ring of Fire for the suggestion

Which apostrophe are we talking about here?
The only misplaced one I can see is Mrs Entity's first post.

"its" doesn't have one "it is", when contracted, does.
It has been conjectured that in sentences such as "the horse's hooves" the apostrophe is actually because it is a contraction of "the horse its hooves".
