Street Smarts vs. Book Smarts

I have been meaning to get to this topic.

Street Smarts vs. Book Smarts.

First of all, we need to compare the pros and cons of each one:

Street Smarts:
Pros: It is very popular, easy, based at school, you get a free t-shirt, flexible scheduling.
Cons: Very expensive, bad class times, forced driving.

Book Smarts:
Pros: Doesn't really exist, so you don't have to do anything, no time commitment
Cons: Doesn't really exist, so it doesn't count for drivers education. No free t-shirt.



Ha ha ha.  That was hilarious. I could probably run my own blog.

BTW Look for a new and improved Street Smarts ad in the upcoming edition or Torch! Coming out October 23!

For more information on how to make this ^ line, tune in to the next edition of Better Blogging.
Back to the subject.  I hate strongly dislike it when people say "O yea, well he may be book smart, but isn't street smart."

This actually makes me laugh.

Street smart? As in, "I can go live on the streets and survive?" Oh man, you're right!  I can't live on the street! Dude, You are so better than me!  I am in trouble, I don't know where the best dumpsters are, I don't know where the most comfortable benches are.  I don't know what overpasses the security guards forget to check at night!  Dang, I guess I'm screwed for life.

Maybe that person was talking about gangsta stuff.  Like drugs.  "Oh man! You're right! I can't tell speedy black tar grapple hair bull crack from electric lime fruitzen crunch muffin block jungle jim tack dog! Oh Lord, save me!  How will I ever be successful in the future if I can't tell those simple drugs apart?!  Someone should come and shoot me right now!

Or maybe, just maybe, because it's Tuesday, or because your mom's name is Gertrude, that person is talking about practical applications of learned concepts. Well...hmmm... obviously that person is book smart.

                                                                       The end.
