Good news! I was starting to get concerned about that...

My 7th grade science teacher was married to my 8th grade math teacher. When studying the speed of sound, we had countless math problems dealing with time and distance. He (the science teacher) got really mad at the people making basic math mistakes, and screamed at the class one day, that we needed to move on because he really hated math! By the time I graduated High School, they'd been divorced a few years! It sounded pretty stupid for them to get married in the first place!

In my time in Law Enforcement, most of the folks I detained should have had multiple Darwins. (But likely they did not know what they are, or how to collect.)
Just think, if it were not for the folks with lesser intelligence. All the Smart Mensa Candidates on the Internet would have no one to compare themselves to and and be so smart.
If there was no lower class who would the Upper class thumb their noses at?

There really isn't a science of stupid but there sure are many taking up a career in acting stupid.
There are tests for a person's IQ but I have yet to see a test for their common sense. I have known people of high IQ that their showing of common sense showed me they were dumb as a rock. LOL They even will argue their point of stupidity using no common sense.

Ya know.. Even smart people do stupid things..even me. I messed around with a gal or two that had SO much fun that the PO-leece would occasionally show up. One kinda got me in trouble one night. She really did draw the police officers to the party we were at. When they asked who had brought this gal... I did fess up. When they asked if I would take her home...I just asked the cop quietly if I really had to. He laughed at me pretty good. Got smarter that fast. Remember the song Last Date? Unfortunately that was not the last stupid thing I ever did!

I was married three times. Didn't get it right till the third time. Guess I would qualify as an educated idiot, if I hadn't been smart enough to ask the last one.
I still have fairly decent mental machinery for my age; but when I was somewhat younger, after searching for two days I once found a missing insurance policy in my refrigerator.
Maybe it's time to enter the Darwin Sweepstakes.

I work in the motorcycle business. I just may give the LEO guys a run for their money in the awards we should give out...some days all you can say is WOW.
In the Navy we always said there were 10%......
Just scares me about over 320 million & 10% are the ones who will do something stupid!

Women have always made me do a lot of stupid things.
Some people are born with serious limitations. Those people I truly feel sorry for.
But, there is a segment of the population that simply refused to use the brains they have. Perfectly good brains and absolutely no inclination to do anything with them at all. Mentally lazy, just as some are physically lazy. Worse when both.

My neighbor had a push lawn mower I heard him giving it a good cusding one day so I walked over to see if I could lend a hand .He hlad just brought the mower back from the shop after spending 50 bucks on it . He said the guy at the shop pulled the start rope and it fired right up on the first pull and the guy cut a little grass with it cutting the mower off after about 10 feet and fireing it back up .He said it fired up on the first pull everytime. This poor guy had blistered his fingers and hand pulling that starter rope to no avail that mower would not start for him . He said I'm gonna work on it now and with that he went into his shed and came out with a maul and commenced beating that lawn mower to pieces .He found the problem when he knocked the gas tank off .It was empty .He sat right down on the ground and laughed like a lunatic . I went home walked in the back door and told my wife " we gotta move" . Anger will cause more stupid acts than any other emotion besides love .

My wife at times does some...shall we say...odd things. She had sold some antique furniture she had. Lot of money. Went out and bought some other stuff. Well she had 4- 500 left over so she put it somewhere to "keep it safe". Since she has CRS, stick a fork in her mind...3 months she can't find that money. Getting ready to go to an estate auction one day...walks over to the wood cook stove in the kitchen opens it and voila...there it was right on the side of the firebox in the bank envelope. Luckily it was summer.

Still stupid after all these years except I now don't have the hormones that made it fun.

Ask 3 or 4 people "Just how stupid can you be"? At least one of them will take it as a challenge.

I recall a couple M/C weekend campouts and stupid actions that took place jog my memory the most. You know those memories where you just shake your head thinking about them.
