The sad thing is that there are people who fall for this. These are probably the same people who stare at the sun (reference other post).

We grow em stupid here.

What I find difficult to understand is that no matter how much money we spend on education, almost half of the students are still below average!

You should send him a copy of your resume and go on and on about how you would make an excellent plant manager and then go on to discuss salry!
