Though you're reassuring that this should be taken more humorously, I think it's quite important to point that you should NEVER talk or even have this kind of attidude towards other players. They'll notice, one way or another. You should rather see their (possibly) poor performance as a motivator for you, but don't ever let them feel like you look down upon them (and of course, don't behave like this in the first place). I couldn't agree more with WhitePlainsDave remark: "good people often make good musicians". Please keep that in mind, as it especially applies to playing in a band/orchestra more than I'd imagined when I started.
Anyways, I've had a few hours now and then to try out my cousin's oboe and think I've managed to play it up to c3. My embouchure on the clarinet is strong to the point that I have super firm cheeks and my teacher thinks I'm just punishing myself with my mouthpiece/reed combo... yet, the tension on one's lips required to create a nice and controlled tone on the oboe is a different league. It'll take you a long time to adjust and possibly interefere with your "clarinet embouchure" to get to a decent level, I'd say, though I'd love to practice on this beatiful instrument myself.
In turn, an oboist will have a hard time to adjust to the "relaxed" embouchure of the clarinet, especially for the lower registers
