Randall reminds me of many military officers who are book smart and got 1500 on the SAT but are as dumb as a box of rocks !

...

ie., most of them have spent so much time in the safe unchallenging insular academia environment they become rendered socially inept for the real world. When its the student(or parents/scholarship) who is forking over all that college tuition the student always gets the pat on the head.

I have to agree with you on that.

Dumb as a box of rocks? Hmmm, well, for a guy who is 'dumb as a box of rocks' he has accomplished quite a lot. Not just in academia by the way, although the guy obviously excels in that as well .....the guy has started 5 companies (currently his baby is a multi-million dollar policy/tech/management firm). He also seems to be a rather good chap (he is heavy into charities ....and yes, I mean even before the whole Apprentice thing).

Thus for a guy who is 'dumb as a box of rocks' he seems to be doing quite well.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to organize an event and to make it run smoothly. He didn't do either...and he didn't check the weather.

He is as dumb as a box of rocks because of that.
