TRUE story about pippen...
this maybe just a 1 time thing and not a 100% declaration on his intelligence, but i remember years ago when in chicago i was at a "johnny rocket's" hamburger joint shooting the breeze with the waitress in the nearly empty place and she gets a call for carry out..
over and over she tried to explain what was on a certain burger and the person on the line just wasn't getting it.... she had to explain in slow motion slow voice what was on the burger, what it came with, how much it would cost and when this person could pick it up...
finally after 10 minutes of what should have been at most a 1 minute conversation. she gets off the phone and says "OH MY GOD, what a fricking moron! talk about no comprehension!...
fast forward 30 minutes later, guess who strolls in to pick up their burger and fries? you guessed it.
