True story: I was once in Kiev airport waiting to check in behind a bishop - purple robes, fancy hat, the lot.
He tried to wangle an upgrade, and was not particularly pleasant about it, and rather upset the girl behind the desk. He seemed to think that he deserved one, what with being a bishop and all; she seemed to think that god should provide.
He didn't get one.
She gave it to me instead, and made damn sure he heard her...

Sounds like the norm for humans like that.. "Do as I say, but not as I do" .
Even Darwin wouldnt have been surprised at how devious some people can be - but I doubt if he would have said the guy is a shining human animal example of 'survival of the fittest'...
