There were people of all ages taking part.


I guess you know all about that too. Man, I had no idea how well-rounded you were. You went to an ivy league school? Why don't you give her a call and tell her these gems? Here she was thinking if she worked as hard as she could, went to a good school and paid for the best education she could, then applied all over the country and travelled extensively, that she might be able to be employed.

I had no idea that she was a complete idiot. Here I was just thinking you'll disagree with anything I say, but you actually have a message here, and it must get out. 'Everyone is an idiot but me' seems to be your message. Write a book, get on the national news, become a celebrity while you still know what's best for everyone, ivy league scholars and 747 captains included.

If you'd like, good sir, I can put you on the phone with her so you can tell her directly how ignorant she is.

I'm very sorry for having offended you, Red. I had no idea you had such solid advice and experience. I'll conceded this whole argument to you and bow out.
