Stories of unsurpassed brillianceThis "Week" The suggestion comes from Kroney who muses
"Whilst I was passing through Miami airport at the tender age of 21, I fancied a beer. "ID" said the charming Southerner behind the desk, so I got out my passport and showed it to her.
"You have to be 21," she said. Now this confused me slightly as I had been 21 for several months by this point and my date of birth was staring her in my face.
"I am 21," I replied helpfully "it says so there, look"
"You have to be 21", she said getting angry.
Cut a long story short, I argued, the manager came out, I argued with him before I finally realised that they weren't looking at the date of birth at all. They were looking at the date of *issue*
That would have made me an annoyingly precocious four year old. What examples of unsurpassed mental genius have you experienced?"""""""

That reminds me.Back in my uni days I used to give a mate who lived near me (Brum) a lift to/from uni (Aberdeen) when the terms finished. His mum used to meet us in a lay-by on the A38 next to the M5.
So my mate jumps in and we start nattering about how Christmas was, and to be honest I was a bit distracted. Something that became apparent after about half 45 minutes of driving I noticed a motorway sign that said 'BRISTOL - 40 miles'. Oops.
