Entertaining though this thought is:
High school may be the wimps\’ collective nightmare, but the rest of life is pure unadulterated collective revenge. I bet even Steve Jobs on occasion drives his fully-loaded, pimped-out Cadillac Escalade past the used-car lot where his old high-school nemesis, the ex-quarterback, now toils for buttons. I\’d like to think he whips out an iPhone or a skinny MacBook and yells, "I INVENTED this, dickhead! And you\’re 38 years old and living in your mom\’s basement! Sic transit gloria, motherfucker!"
It does imply that Steve Jobs left high shool at 33 years of age.

pimped-out Cadillac Escalade???
Is he serious? LOL!
I’m struck by the strange American belief that schoolboys can be good at their books or at their sports but not both. I don’t think it’s a racist thing, but I haven’t a clue what it is about. Is it some sort of consolation for the people who were good at neither?
There is a inverse correlation between reaction time and IQ. So sports requiring fast reaction times do tend to be dominated by people with lower IQs. Well thats the excuse I use…
Isn’t it all as matter of time available. You can read a lot or run a lot but you can’t do both.
Famous divvy Alan Turing was running 2:46 marathons in 1948 (11 minutes behind the then world record).
