MOESBURG, Ok. — 

In a stunning display of ego and self-importance, local resident Mark Harris recently revealed his fervent desire to have children solely for the purpose of passing on his supposedly exceptional genetic traits. Unbeknownst to him, the world trembles in anticipation of a new generation of unparalleled arrogance and unwarranted self-confidence. 

Mark, who considers himself the epitome of the human race, believes that his genetic makeup is a gift to humanity that should not go to waste. He envisions a lineage of children who possess his supposed brilliance, charm, and dashing good looks—a genetic dynasty that would make the Habsburgs pale in comparison. 

“Look, let’s be honest here,” Mark declared, while gazing lovingly at his reflection. “The world needs more of me. My DNA is a precious commodity that should be spread far and wide, like butter on toast. Can you imagine a world filled with individuals who possess my intellect, my charisma, and my impeccably styled hair? It would be a paradise!” 

Unsurprisingly, Mark’s announcement has been met with a mixture of eye-rolls, stifled laughter, and pity from friends and family. Critics argue that his delusions of grandeur are as inflated as his ego. However, Mark remains steadfast in his belief that he holds the key to humanity’s evolutionary leap forward. 

To bolster his case, Mark has meticulously compiled a list of his “outstanding” traits. Among these self-proclaimed marvels of nature are his superior ability to parallel park, his uncanny talent for correctly guessing the final twist in movies, and his unparalleled dance moves that rival those of John Travolta in his prime. 

“I mean, who wouldn’t want their child to inherit my incredible skills?” Mark asked rhetorically. “My offspring would effortlessly glide into any parking spot, impress friends with their clairvoyance during movie nights, and dominate dance floors with a grace that defies gravity. It’s a gift, really.” 

Critics argue that the world may not be quite ready for an army of Mini-Marks, but that hasn’t deterred Mark’s determination. In fact, he has gone to great lengths to find a suitable partner who meets his stringent criteria for genetic excellence. Potential candidates must possess the ability to withstand Mark’s constant self-adulation and, ideally, possess a sense of humor that can tolerate his endless claims of superiority. 

While many scoff at Mark’s audacity and self-centeredness, there is a silver lining. His quest to find the perfect genetic match has inadvertently united people from all walks of life who revel in the shared amusement of his delusions. It’s a reminder that even the most outrageous claims can bring people together, if only to share a good laugh.  

As we witness Mark’s journey to perpetuate his “remarkable” traits, we can’t help but ponder the absurdity of his quest. Perhaps, in the end, it’s a humbling reminder that true greatness is not found in narcissism or delusions of grandeur, but in the everyday acts of kindness, compassion, and selflessness that make the world a better place. 

Until then, we eagerly await the birth of Mark’s potential genetic marvels, ready to witness the rise of a new generation of individuals who share his unique blend of self-obsession and overconfidence. Brace yourselves, world, for the dawn of an era that will surely redefine the limits of human vanity.
