Paul -

Knowing what I know about your life, I'd have to say you're the smart person not making many mistakes at all. The smart person doing smart things.

Sounds like one of those mental challenges used to put someone on the spot. "Name 3 very stupid people who made very smart mistakes!"

"Duh ... Rosanne Barr, Tom Arnold, and ... oh I know, I know, ... and Walter Wagner."

"Who's Walter Wagner?"

Oh, He's the guy that sued the scientific establishment over the construction of the super conducting super collider claiming it would destroy the world."

"OK. He's stupid, but you can't say it was a smart mistake to sue the scientific establishment, unless it would actually destroy the world."

"You're right. That one doesn't qualify."

"Neither, does the other two."

"Oh, come on!"
