Not so clever

So legend has it that if you kiss the Blarney Stone, you'll be gifted with the ability to spin tales and speak eloquently. One example hung inside castle Blarney gives the following distinction: "Bologna: telling a woman that she looks 18 when she looks 50. Blarney: asking a woman what age she is so that you might know at what age a woman reaches her most beautiful." So for comparison, here is a measure of how clever my family was BEFORE kissing the Blarney Stone.
