All this theory and scientific stuff is way over my wee heed, it reminds me of a driving trip to Vegas where I pulled over at a truck stop for lunch. Bellying up to the breakfast counter I was within earshot of 3 gentlemen who were obviously truckers, the sporting of clothing with head to toe advertising logos of Kenworth and Mac was a dead giveaway. While eagerly awaiting my very first try of the days special Chicken fried steak with lashings of biscuits and gravy I picked up the topic of their conversation being their respective educational backgrounds and the reasons for each getting into the trucking business. One guy in fantastic southern drawl stated adamantly that the reason he left high school early was he realized he was wasting his time attending a maths class as he observed

"How the hell are you supposed to add A's, B's and C's and get something? "

I thought to myself well done that man, there's no point trying to get your head around a subject you know fine well is way over it, which is pretty much how I feel about this thread.
