I like these a lot and it is funny the things you realize as you get older. When I was 30, I asked my father if he had been going to night school at the university. "No", he asked, "Why"? I told him he must have been doing something because when I was 16 he was the dumbest man on the face of the earth and 14 years later he was one of the smartest.

He still likes to remind me of that sometimes.
