In reality, there're people who've counted that stuff. The all time winner in the "I I I" category is Trumpty. He makes absolutely everything about himself. He is the only person in the world he cares about. If he felt he had to, he'd even throw Ivanka off the island.
Trumpty comes in first in the Presidential Liars stakes, too. By a lot. More than 20,000 provable lies so far. I just can't stand liars. And I particularly can't stand stupid liars.
Obama, by the way, has never said he was or is "professorial". That's something the press liked to call him. It never struck me as being an insult, though many used it as one. Its use as an insult has a lot to do with our long anti-intellectual history as a nation. We give a lot of lip service to the importance of education, but underlying all that are the jokes about scholars, teachers, and--these days--anyone with a better-than-fourth-grade vocabulary. And of course we decline to pay teachers well.

As for the Wusthof knife, it's a good brand. Serrated knives are, of course, good for crusty bread, and especially good for tomatoes or other soft fruits.
