RE: It always makes me wonder...

Bob, sadly for the alternate viewpoints, David did mention that the
interesting T-shirt does contain a bonafide professional student who is
announcing that the world owes him a living ;-)

I think this entire thread can be summarized by that lovely old joke that
goes, "Never assume!  You will make an ASS out of U and ME.  

                        CHEERS!

We were at a family reunion in Arkansas, and "the guys"  made a field trip
to a nearby town to check out the pawnshops.  We spotted a music store, and
stopped in. My brother in law, an R&D engineer for a major computer company,
our collective five sons and me, all dressed rather casually, Five of the
group were musicians.

Adam asked the clerk about a copy of a Paul McCartney bass.  The guy sez,
"You can't afford it."

I turned to  the guy and said,  "I could pay cash,  but I'm not going to
reward you with a sale." 

Three years later, the bass was still in the store.

Yes, indeed.  I had a customer in my store once that I thought didn't have
two nickels to rub together from the way he was dressed. Turned out he was a
very rich man and bought a very expensive bike from me.  Clothes may make
the man but not necessarily indicate the bank account.  Heck just remember
Jed Clampett.  :-)

Yup ... see my answer to Bob.  And, no, he's not a millionaire.   Likely not
even a hundred-aire!



I met a guy who looked like that who turned out to be a Nobel  Laureate...


the other guy I'd watch out for is Steve Wozniak, inventor of the  Apple
computer...


these guys can fool you,

Steve
