> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Good for your mom. Maybe she knows what facials and selfies are. > > In case you haven’t noticed, just about everyone in the SDMB went to college too. A lot of them even graduated. A good number have post-graduate degrees as well. None of them are likely to be impressed by your accolades of getting 100 on an exam over 40 years ago. You can be the most educated man in the world, but we’re still going to think you’re an isolated 12-yr old if you keep acting that way. FYI, I had seen the word “selfie” from the time it first appeared in print media, a few weeks ago. So help me, I never saw the word “facial” in any context other than anatomy or cosmetology. The mention of the literature exam was an “aside” I added in an (apparently unsuccessful) effort to show that I do have some background in higher education. I make an effort to defend my position, but from the reactions I get it’s clear that there is a slip between the cup and the lip. ---

It was an attempt to impress us with how unbelievably smart you are. Because the majority of us have a college education, it failed. The mention of your score made it obvious that you were trying to impress us. Note: Unless you’re a Phi Beta Kappa, your GPA in college/university is unimpressive. Getting a 100 on an exam is so unimpressive that even mentioning it is laughable. ---

> [@dougie\_monty](#): > > I read once that people thought Witnesses don’t eat meat, or that they won’t accept blood lest they have two souls in one body!:dubious: Cite? I want a link for that one. You can’t accept blood transfusions because the Bible says “don’t eat blood.” Of course, that is another topic that the cult has done an incredible [song-and-dance](https://www.watchtowerlies.com/refusal_of_blood_transfusions_by_jehovah_s_witnesses.html) about. Can you have a transfusion with blood products in it. No. Well, maybe. No. Yes. No. Maybe. No. Yes. And do the hokey pokey. ---
