Crittor - The reason you don't use "wise" and "men" in the same sentence is because it is redundant. All men are wise. It is kinda like using "dumb" and "blonde" together.
OH CRITTOR, WHERE DID YA READ THAT, ON THE PACKAGE OF JUICY FRUIT? DON'T YA KNOW THEY PUT THAT STUFF ON THERE TO KEEP YOU REDHEADED/ BLONDES ENTERTAINED.
Did you all know that the words wise and man should never be put in the same sentence? I read that they made that rule when they realized that men were not going to evolve past the neanderthal stage.
