A judge, a bishop1, and a conductor were having a discussion. All three were rather vain men, and their talk soon turned to the question of which of them was the greatest.
 
"Well," said the judge, "My position is one of dignity and power. When I walk into the courtroom, the bailiff says ‘All rise!’ and all the people stand to pay me honor."
 
"That's very nice," said the bishop. "People stand in your honor; but when people have an audience with me they kneel, kiss my ring, and they address me as 'Your Holiness.'"
 
The conductor snorted and said, "I think I got you both beat; when I step onto the podium, as guest conductor, the people look down, put their hands over their eyes, and say 'Oh, my God!'"
 
一个法官、一个教堂主教和一位指挥家正在进行一场辩论。三个人都是虚荣自负的人,他们的话题很快转到他们之中谁是最伟大的人上。
 
“嗯,”法官说,“我的职业既高贵又拥有权力,当我走进法庭的时候,狱警会说‘全体起立!’接着所有人都会站起来向我致意。”
 
“好极了,”主教说,“人们站起来向你致敬。当我出现在教堂里,人们会跪在我的面前,亲吻我的戒指,并称呼我为‘陛下’。”
 
指挥家哼了一声,说道:“我觉得你们都不如我。当我作为客座指挥走上指挥台的时候,人们都垂着头,用手捂着眼睛,说道,‘噢,我的上帝!’”
