You have to remember the words of the great Dorothy Parker. In the 1920's at the Algonquin Hotel in nyc, she and other writers and enterainment types like the Marx bros. used to sometimes play a word game where someone would pick a word at random from the dictionary and the next player had to immediately make a coherent sentence using it.

It was Dorothy Parker's turn and a woman flipped the pages of the dictionary, jabbed down her finger and announced loudly "Horticulture!"

"You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think!" said Ms. Parker.

You can't make people think.
