A pole at the Pole
It looks like this person was pretty adamant that there was not a real pole at the South Pole. They probably thought it was the stuff of Christmas movies and not based in reality. Well, their friends got a great chance to say “I told you so” when they actually traveled to the South Pole!
When this person’s friend made the long trip to the South Pole, they found that there was, in fact, a pole there. So he immediately sent it to the formerly non-believing friend. Photographic proof is definitely one of the best ways to rub your rightness in someone else’s face, and it’s even better when it’s at the South Pole.
