Thanks for the info. I've always doubted the claim. I have a rather long story about the fellow who imparted that particulate of wisdom which terminates in his death by choking on his vomitus while drunk. No, I'm not making this up. There are stranger ironies even than this in the world.

And this is part of my problem with "common sense," that so much of it is nonsensical.
