Just goes to show you that Garrison Kiellor's adage about all the children of Lake Woebegon being above average must be true.

I also found the same to be true while I was in the Navy. On our semi-annual evaluations, 90% of the officers were in the top 10% of their cohort.

Amazing. We were all a whole lot better than I thought.
