those ratts who do listen long enough to learn of my weakness for Insincere Humility

Despite my online personna, if you were to ask ANYBODY who has known me for very long, and probably EVERY person that lives around here, I am sure that they would tell you that I am NOT the kind of person to look down on anybody.

Quite the contrary, if anything needs doing that people feel is BENEATH them, THAT is when they think of me. I am the guy that family members and friends ask to climb down inside hand dug wells to clear out sediment, or to climb 35 feet in the air to fix some dislodged tin on a 50 year old barn with a steeply pitched roof. Or anything else that insincerely humble people would never do.

I have encountered intellectual elitists like the Swervie and others who have TRIED to look down their nose at ME, and I have to admit, it is hard for me to resist overworking my last remaining brain cell, to try and prove them wrong. But I prefer to be around normal people.

I can just as easily sit down and chat with farmers, as I can sit and chat with computer geeks. And if FORCED to make a judgment call as to who is smarter among those two groups of people, I reckon I would have to study on it for a spell.

I am ANYTHING but meek or humble, but I do have the sense to know that I am not better than anybody else trotting around this giant rock. (Except for militant Leftist wannabe college grads.)

Harumph!!

*LOL* Like I said yesterday - You're cute when you're humble, and you know it. You're supposed to laugh.

Ratty, you are as smart as I am and at least as educated. The important thing to remember is that you are also at least as crazy as I am.

Will I have to schedule an extra day of vacation to take on that project?

I sent this e-mail to admissions a couple of hours ago:

From the admissions section of the school's website:
The 2001/2002 entering class averaged 37% women, 16% men, 9% minorities, and 21% international students, and fewer than 1% disabled students.

37% were women and 16% men --- shouldn't the two numbers add up to 100%?

I actually got a reply:

Thank you for letting me know. We will make a change on the website.
