Gee, Zeke, I for one hope you stick around. I've gotten good info and interesting perspective from you in your posts.

Maybe an amusing anecdote regarding intelligence and success would help?

A general contractor finds his business growing and a need for more help. He decides to promote from within, taking one of his five or six best carpenters and advancing him to foreman. But which one? The contractor arranges a 6 X 6 on a pair of saw horses and summons the men. "I want each of you to take a 16d nail from your aprons, and drive it, head first, into this piece of lumber." Now, a couple fellows gave their boss a puzzled look, and a few others stepped away from the horses and began to protest and question the contractor's instruction. But the contractor looked past them, and fixed his eye on his new foreman, who was diligently doing exactly what was asked of him; driving a nail, head first, into the wood.
