Back in grade school, some people used to make fun of the smart kids. We hire them. We hire them because some challenges demand intellect. Some opportunities require curiosity. And some questions are so tired of being answered with the same trite clichés that they're begging for someone with brilliance and an offbeat sense of humor to wrestle with the answers.
