ROD (Rubric Of the Day)

CHARLATAN: A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud. A retired air force officer told me that he is an encyclopaedia in aviation. Whenever he reached in my clinic he narrated something that I couldn’t get in terms of aviation. He uses technical terms of aviation. He knows only aviation and what he told was aviation always. I took his rubric as boaster, flattering desire to be. Etc. After few months I purchased a new car. It was written on the dickey of the car that “Quadra jet”. I hesitate to ask Car Company about the meaning of “Quadra jet” and I thought that I can ask aviation man who is well versed with engines and all as he stated. Meanwhile I got information that my new car’s is engine is “turbo” that too I don’t know what is. I kept both questions for aviation man. When he reached I just asked him both questions. He was literally hunting for words, he don’t know the answer of both questions. Later I invited him for a speech in the nearby school in connection with Independence Day organized by Rotary International. He skulked from that invitation by saying some unbelievable excuses. I called him for another occasion for a speech about aviation in Rotary club. At that time I told him to choose the date and time but till date he postponed it even after my repeated request. It was actually a fraudulent clam about his aviation knowledge! His rubric changed from Boaster to Charlatan and thus received a dose of CALC instead of Verat Alb & Medorrhonium that was prescribed most to him. : Calc, Nat M, Puls Plat Sul
