The version of that quote I heard was "Everyone has one and they all stink"

As for the subject at hand, I have no opinion.

I chosed the last option, but I don't change my underware that often.

As for this option.

I have to say that most people are "self-delusionals" to some degree in the end, I tend to make this relation: strong-minded = delusional, open-minded=less delusional, no opinion at all=no delusional, which seems to make sense. Strong opinions, from my perspective seem like claiming absolute certainty in some aspects and ignoring the possibility of being in error, which that is an error itself, and it is something that looks to be very common in people, heck! anyone putting himself as the judge of truth and knowledge, I would call him delusional to be honest, no matter the view, and that's my strong opinion ;)
