They must cover their bottoms and use pasties, if necessary."<br />I like the "if necessary" qualifier.alex ketohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003786334665677107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-59274272868566102232009-09-24T20:39:09.772-05:002009-09-24T20:39:09.772-05:00My dad was much the same way.

In this day and age, can't we get a robot to put things together, since they'd do only what they were told to do? No thinking involved. <br /><br />Your story about the engineers doesn't surprise me however. When I was in military intel in the Army (yes, it is an oxymoron), I met plenty of "smart" soldiers that lacked the common sense God gave a grasshopper. Evidently, if you are given the brains to be a genius, something's gotta give on the other end of the spectrum.
