But what the hell.<\/p>\n<p>I have a degree and I am proud of it. I am not impressed with your chest thumping really, because I can handle tools and learn their use as fast as the next guy. Truth is, guys like you never get near my equipment because I maintain it myself. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t curse and swear about replacing the front end in a bagged out piece of crap like your Ford\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I can afford a decent vehicle. <\/p>\n<p>If I need to do any mechanical work the first tool I buy is a shop manual. If I decide to replace an engine or a transmission, it comes out and goes back in the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Your response is typical too &#8211; you are intimidated. I am smarter than you, probably better looking and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to worry about problems with obesity because I eat right and exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Any idiot can work with his hands Og. I am beginning to suspect that you are proof of that. <\/p>\n<p>Keep polishing those Special Olympian medals fella, they ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gonna do it themselves!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim <\/p>\n<p>Yes, Jim, I&#8217;m really intimidated by you, you overeducted fool. I can afford just about any vehicle I want, I LIKE my ford, and keep it because I do. I chose my ford over a company supplied luxury car when I switched positions in my company. But, hey, you are still so much better than me. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One last thing Og&#8230;I hear the odd guy like you whisper it behind my back all the time&#8230;&#8221;PhD arsehole&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But you know what? None of you ever have the guts to say it to my face. Why is that? And when I make mistakes (and I make my share) you guys are just the best Monday morning quarterbacks there are. But when the big chances are being taken, and a decision has to be made, every last one of you cut rate engineers and shade tree mechanics will wait for ME to call it because you don&#8217;t have the courage or want the responsibility of doing it yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>You and your dad may have built America, Og&#8230;but me and mine OWN it. At the end of the day you work for us&#8230;and you need us far more than we need you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sorry. I don&#8217;t need you for anything. And never have. I&#8217;ve been self sufficient all my life, and always will be. I can build, repair, hunt, grow, and manage everything I need to stay alive. Without any manuals. How much of this country DO you own? Is that why you&#8217;re Sir Fredrick James? Or is that one of those self- appointed titles?<\/p>\n<p>I have a Haynes manual for evbery automobile I have ever owned. I take great pride in the knowledge that I have maintained four cars past the quarter million mile mark. And I don&#8217;t have to thump my chest, I can take you to hundreds of plants all over this country where I have done things with automation that you could never imagine. <\/p>\n<p>I read about a technical manual a day, Jimmy baby. Cover to cover.When is the last time you updated yourself on anything? Still playing with thirty year old engineering principles and materials? Do you remember your statics, or do you have to pull the equations out of a book if you haven&#8217;t used them in ten years?<\/p>\n<p>yep, you&#8217;re smarter than me alright. I bet your IQ is double mine, mine&#8217;s only 154. And my SAT&#8217;s were only 680 english, 720 math. Bad, dumb old og. <\/p>\n<p>Yep, you&#8217;re right. You&#8217;re smarter, richer, better looking, and even skinnier than I am. Of course, as you say, I can exercise and diet. You on the other hand, will always be an ass. Here&#8217;s a little hint for you, to put your finger closer to the clue button: If you hear people whispering &#8220;phd asshole&#8221; behind your back? you are. <\/p>\n<p>There are two million people at work, approximately, in British Columbian industry. Wow, I guess with that tiny pond you must be a pretty big fish, huh? We have more than that in Chicago. Come on down to a real job market and see how well you fare. People here are interested in results. Lots of PHD&#8217;s driving cabs. And by the way, how much of American do you &#8220;own&#8221; from British Columbia?<\/p>\n<p>Stop on by, anytime. In person, too- fat doesn&#8217;t mean weak, you know. I welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the sumo Gasshohineri technique on you, then rub my fat disgusting sweaty body all over your superiorness. But you&#8217;ll probably be a Fusensho- a no show. A coward, whining from behind your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>And again I must ask, if this is such a shithole, why do you keep coming back? Must be for the ego stroking. I imagine at such a lofty level it&#8217;s hard to get anyone to pay attention to you. And where&#8217;s your cleverly written far superior to mine blog?<\/p>\n<p>Go back to surfing porn and working out. That&#8217;s almost as good as having a girlfriend, it really is. And keep commenting. it drives home the point that you don&#8217;t have to be educated to be smart, and an education is not proof against being a fool. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus, the guy never learns.
