Someone well-known in his earlier years for arrogance and pride was the boxer, Muhammad (“I’m the greatest”) Ali. I have read that he apparently once refused to fasten his seatbelt on an airplane. After repeated requests by the flight attendant to buckle up, Ali finally said, “Superman don’t need no seatbelt.” To which the flight attendant wonderfully replied, “Superman don’t need no airplane!”
