This could possibly apply to some of us here ...
I have employed two MBAs and two PHDs in the gun biz
This applies to them for sure, brilliant minds varying degrees of common sense... NONE of them were happy to learn I dropped out of HS and got a GED in the Army... I employed them all when they were between jobs...

In Mozambique we had a well known preacher visiting ..
he was staying the place next to our house. One morning I was coming out and could hear his gate banging. I walked over there and he was trying to push it open from inside. He was struggling and could not get it to open outward more than about 4". I asked if I could help and he said "please." So I pushed it inward and it swung open. He apparently had been trying to push it outward for some time. I won't mention his name since he is highly regarded in some circles .. but I have had a good laugh about that ever since.
