Cecil as good as it is your analogy still fails thanks to the fact that
if I can drunk (and I have no idea wether I can or not) it only means

barred them from all sports then you rise closer to the level of what
the code test is in the ARS

and knowing Morse code are equally useful in the ARS.

well If Could dunk a basket ball it would be useful in being able to
