Joey Bishop Quotes
The president of a TV network generously agreed to take his company's aptitude test, a test required of all the personnel. He did badly. As a result he was in a sullen mood for the rest of the day.

It showed, boomed the executive, that such tests are idiotic. That's what it showed.
