Byline: by Lorne Jackson
I ALWAYS believed myself to be a bright kid.
I wore specs, for a start, clearly the sign of an intelligent chap.
Meanwhile, my hair was a mangled mop, just like Einstein's.
Then there were all those kids who bullied me on a regular basis.
No doubt Isaac Newton and Betrand Russell put up with similar behaviour when they were in short trousers.
Yup, I was a genius, all right.
