Re: Re-post: some silliness

Lanier, et. al.;

Here are some more from my collection: (My favorite is number 19, with
number 5 a close second!)

These are actual lines from military performance appraisals or OER's
  (Officer Efficiency Reports).


  1.     Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
  2.     Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching.
  3.     A room temperature IQ.
  4.     Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all
         together.
  5.     A gross ignoramus - 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus.
  6.     A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on.
  7.     A prime candidate for natural deselection.
  8.     Bright as Alaska in December.
  9.     One-celled organisms out score him in IQ tests.
  10.     Donated his body to science before he was done using it.
  11.     Fell out of the family tree.
  12.     Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't
coming.
  13.     Has two brains; one is lost and the other is out looking for
it.
  14.     He's so dense, light bends around him.
  15.     If brains were taxed, he'd get a rebate.
  16.     If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a
week.
  17.     If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change.
  18.     If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean.
  19.     It's hard to believe that he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm.
  20.     One neuron short of a synapse.
  21.     Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled.
  22.     Takes him 1 1/2 hours to watch 60 minutes.

Now I'm going to start an argument! Why is only "he" used? Were there
not any women officers?
