I Admire Wit and Intelligence

People are asking, "Who's the smartest person on SW?"

The answer is - "Nobody."

Yes, that includes me. No one likes EVERYBODY they encounter on SW. They don't like the way someone else comes across on the way they write a post, or mistakenly reply to a post you have written (this can be a misunderstanding on both individual's parts), or they are trolls who are out to "shock" another poster (or three) with words in a reply or a question about your life that has a double meaning.

I don't know everything, but I like a good joke when I hear (see?) it, or learn something from someone else on a subject I know little or nothing about. I remember well what is imparted to me, especially if it is interesting.

People ask me on SW, sometimes, about things I write about, and I will be glad to give them an explanation or a reply. I value intelligence above much else, and it doesn't hurt to have a little humor in the reply.

I am not exactly the brightest candle on the cake,but don't you have to take the squall if you want the baby?

Human inteligence has so many dimensions and just one person cannot be best in all dimensions i think. comparing people's inteligence is i think being so narrow minded

@navigatorTR Teachers, as a group, are guilty of this. My brothers and I all went to the same grammar and high schools. Since I was the eldest, I would get a teacher before the boys. Let one of them land in a classroom I was in a previous year, and nine times out of ten, the teacher would say, "Are you going to be as smart as your sister?" This isn't fair. My brothers and I were good in different subjects. We were different people.
