Good theme, and inventive way of saying things. This reminds me much of some of the age-old advice of Dale Carnegie, and of the different views Eastern and Western philosophy have on silence. The European tradition is one of saying everything to let those around you see how much you know, while the Asiatic tradition states that those who truly know say nothing. I'd recommend the chapter on Maggie Simpson in "The Simpsons and Philosophy" for a good, lighthearted read on this subject.
