It would be unfair to you. I've always scored in the 99th percentile. I turned down a commission in the Corps, based on my GCTs, 151 at the time. I suppose they were THAT desperate.

And, bragging about my intellect is unseemly. My brother, who was brighter than I, was a pot smoker, to the exclusion of everything else, spent his entire life stumbling from low rate employment to welfare and back. Got an UD out of the Army for drug use.

He died at 44. He's in the Florida National Cemetery, near Gainesville. Buried as an indigent. Have a nice day.

Oh, you did very well. Sincere congratulations. I'll spot you three.

That's a real life anecdote. Here's mine: Clean living younger brother dead at 45. (We both know that's tough. Sorry for our losses.)

I've seen smart and dumb degenerates and failures and pot was not a factor.

Thanks for the warm wish, same to you :)
