An attorney I work with told me in all honesty that she felt I was too smart to be a lawyer.

This may explain my limited success thus far. I'm too smart for my job. Because of this oversmartness the legal theories I propose are so brilliant that the ordinary minds of other lawyers and judges can not follow them. Thus they rule against me not because I am wrong, but because they are not smart enough to understand how right I am.

I have suspected that this might be the case for some time, and I am glad that my astute colleague was able to confirm it.

I may be so smart that it would be impossible for me to be successful in any field. Unfortunately, I would probably be ruled ineligible for disability payments because those who decide such things would not be smart enough to understand the logic behind my application.

*sigh* It can be such a burden to be me sometimes.
