Bore
"A bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you."
"And tells you more, much more; more than you've ever expected or wanted to hear, to see, to read, to learn, and to know." - M.N.
"In other words, a bore-man is happy to expose and to reveal himself in all his natural, unnatural, supernatural, and the tattooed beauty. Ain't it really boring?" - M.N.
Pascal : Man is a thinking reed. ... This is an excerpt of Thoughts: “Man is a reed, the weakest of nature, but he is a thinking reed. It is not necessary that the entire universe arm itself to crush: a vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him.
The full quote sounds much better: “Man is a reed, the weakest of nature, but he is a thinking reed. It is not necessary that the entire universe arm itself to crush: a vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than what kills him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage that the universe has over him, the universe does knows nothing” This is the most famous quote by Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher. This is an excerpt of "Thoughts".
In summary, it is the thought that makes man worthy. Two lessons can be drawn from Pascal: “All our dignity consists then in thought” “Working to think well: that the principle of morality”
This dual conception of the human condition will greatly influence the existentialists like Sartre, Kierkegaard and Heidegger.

You mention business dealings in connection with “bamboozle,” which the American Heritage Dictionary defines as “to take in by elaborate methods of deceit; hoodwink.” But it’s worth noting that this is a presidential election year here in the US, and a cynic (that’s me) would say that we’re knee-deep in bamboozlement already with more than two months to go. It’s enough to drive one to guzzling bambooze, if there is such a thing.
What makes dreaming up a nifty story about “bamboozle” so tempting is the unfortunate fact that the actual source of the word is shrouded in mystery. (I like “shrouded in mystery” much better than “unknown,” don’t you?)
