My friend was one of those people who got through school by memorizing everything a few days before each test. He was really good at it.

Doug: I won the Physics prize in High School.

Me: What's that?

Doug: I was the best student in Physics in 12th grade.

Me: That's amazing, Physics? I wouldn't have expected that from you.

Doug: Why not? I scored 100 on almost every test.

Me: Okay, what's Ohm's Law?

Doug: What law?

Me: Ohm's Law. It's an extremely simple equation. The most basic law of electricity.

Doug: I dunno.

Me: So ten years after the fact, I got more out of a shop class full of drooling retards and future felons than you did being the top student in the most difficult subject they teach.

Doug: It got me into Penn State!

Me: But now you don't know why it's bad to stick a fork in an outlet!
