Not I, kiddo.  You can be very proud of your lightning responses!  And I'm
sure when you start to play chambermusic you will be worth seven times your
weight in gold, at least to the other members of your group.

If people want to think you are intelligent, the smart thing to do is NOT
ARGUE with them.  Music can be played by dummies, but it's far more
interesting when intelligence joins the choir.
