The idea of the biggest head knowing the most is all nonsense. The Mastodon had the biggest head of his time, and yet he didn't know enough to go into the ark out of the rain, and be saved. The mosquito, with scarcely any head at all, was wiser. Simpson took refuge in a bar-room during a severe storm, and while there took "a leetle sunthin' for his stomach's sake." Upon his finding fault with the quality of his wine, the barkeeper curtly remarked that he ought to be satisfied with "any port in a storm."
