I didn't mind so much when he asked how new FERC rules meshed with SOX; he may have been sleeping during this part, like I was. But when he asked a question of the humorlous windbag who managed to go 15 minutes over his allotted time discussing developments with third party financings in the LNG industry, I knew the questioner was another soul-less, bluebook-worshipping dweebenheimer seeking external validation through hearing the sound of his own voice. Like we all met in law school (if you didn't meet him, you were him).
So, sebby, a rant please, telling us how annoying this type of motherfucker is. Preferably something involving the offender trussed up like a suckling pig and roasted over slow heat for several hours until tender and moist, waiting for me at the buffet lunch on a warming tray with an apple stuffed in his overly opened mouth. Please include something about which fork to use.

some book told him the way to get noticed as a smart guy is to ask questions. there are employers in the audience; ask questions. my best prof for dealing with this was Irving K. He'd get a stupid q. and start lmost hyperventilating, go up to the guy, right in his face......"LOOK IT UP." or my fav..."THAT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION>"
