I'm making an effort to make my posts shorter b/c I can understand how hard it is to read extremely long posts, so that's that.

Yesterday was basketball lessons and I was talking with the instructor and he said, "I went to school in Vermont"

I wittily responded with, "Oh so, do you miss that maple sugar?"

*Incredulous look on his face* "How do you know that?"

I tried to shrug it off, but he was persistent, so naturally I said, "I'm a genius."

He laughed for a second, thought about it, "Seriously?"

Well, its nice to know that at least I can fake someone who is very intelligent but the fact that I know the famous agricultural products of certain states does NOT make me a genius. Maybe I could have told him that one of the first Ben and Jerry's was in Vermont. Then I could have really astounded him. This says something about the intelligence or at least gullibility (is that a word?) level of college level basketball players.

I guess everybody has their abilities though. He may not be great with history/school, but then again.... I'll never be able to dunk like him. BL. NP.
