[Ford Rollo]

I’m confused.  Where is the competition taking place?  Some of the people listed on this chart seem to be competing this weekend in John Armstrong’s new club in Stanfield, AZA?

Education counts:
 
When I was young I decided I wanted to be a doctor so I took the entrance exam to go to medical school. 
 
One of the questions asked to rearrange the letters PNEIS into the name of an important human body part which is most useful when erect. 
 
Those who answered "spine" are doctors today. The rest of us are sending jokes via email.
