Meaning: even the disadvantaged excels on occasion. Use examples. Rewrite 1: even a deaf pig answers the dinner bell occasionally. Rewrite 2: even a color-blind man matches socks once in a while. Rewrite 3: even a man who can’t smell can give beautiful roses. Rewrite 4: A geek and his girl aren’t forever doomed lovers.
Comment: Rewrite 4 is a stretch, but it can still work in the right circumstance.
