Mark,
Haven't you seen the Holiday Inn Express commercials? They have someone
talk about/do something that sounds very educated (like they are a
professional in that particular field), and then someone asks, "Are you a
doctor/engineer, etc.?" Of course, the person responds, "No, but I stayed
in a Holiday Inn Express last night." Then the announcer says, "Will
staying at a Holiday Inn make you smarter? Nah, but you'll feel smarter." I
am definately not a mechanical engineer. It was just a joke.
