Jeffrey’s hoary old chestnut

I see that in the ‘favourite quotations’ section of his Facebook page, Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando Smith has listed one of the hoariest chestnuts of all time.
Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
Apart from being one of the most hackneyed and clichéd lines in existence (its use in fact indicates the smallest possible of minds), when Jeffrey breezily embraces it, it becomes darkly jaw-dropping.
Yes, it is possible to have a great mind in a tiny body (are men called petit?), but in Jeffrey’s case, it hasn’t happened. Maybe he uses an external hard-drive.

Could be, explains the vast music selection. How does he dock himself to the speakers?
Great. Let’s discuss how Jeffrey announced he won’t be voting in the next election instead.
It’s one’s duty to vote in an election, let alone a general election. However Jeffrey, who’s been elected twice in a row to our parliament, decides that voting is for dummies. So basically we’ve got an elected MP who’ll shirk his duty to vote at an important election. It’s shameful.
I think he reasons that once he’s not contesting the next election, he has nothing to gain from voting. Who cares about other PN contestants?
He’s such a gent.. He does not comprehend the basics of the British values of honour, dignity and fair play.
Then there is my version:
Extraordinary minds discuss people who have no idea that they are ridiculing themselves in every event.
This just invites a comment about simple minds discussing something or other, but I’ll just pass on this one. Too easy…
Isn’t he even going to vote for his new bride?
