rick lives in the universe of last resort of the terminally substandard IQ's.
The one where people are so stupid they don't know they are stupid. That is
very comforting to people like rick.

Jax is simply incapable of juggling all his stories and imagined
experiences. He has been trashed so badly so often for the same bizarre
statements that he has long since lapsed into the clouded dusk of Jaxworld.

It shows best when he has been slapped around and reminded of the
speedos atrocity and his disgraceful performance on the threads
concerning gyros, lube oil, aircraft engines, navigation, the Gulf
Stream, GPS panic ... hell, pick a technical thread and Jax has been
trashed in each one.
