I saw a line in a story here that pointed out the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom. Quite humorously I might add. And it struck me that the difference between the two might be a good premise for one of the talented authors bouncing around SOL. So I offer it as a suggestion.
The comparison, for those interested, is that knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit while wisdom is knowing that a tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad. It struck me as funny.

Why would they be wise in your book? In mine, they're knowledgeable, nothing more. Maybe an example will help make my point. Knowledge is the ability to go to the moon; wisdom is knowing whether its worth it.
There aren't very many wise people out there.

In my book, they aren't wise. I was responding to:
