An Ode to Stupid People


"We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people."
-Colonel Gerald Wellman, ROTC instructor

On regular basis, I hear from other people about how much they cannot stand stupid people. And about a small fraction of the time, I agree with them. Many a time has passed when progress has been stalled because of one moron who tried to help with whatever was going on.

But there has also been many a time where something was said or done by a stupid person that made my day. Some people get mad and stop their feet, but I find it amusing.

I've learned over the course of time that stupid are essential to the world. Many stupid things had been said and done that changed the course of history, like the guy who invented crocs or the guy who suggested a bail out plan for our country (whoops....I'll keep politics out of this one).

If you are one of those people groan whenever a doofus opens their mouth, chill out. Enjoy the moment, because they're the ones who are going to suffer torture from other idiots who try to correct them.

So now, I salute all of those who have at one points opened their mouths and given us a nugget of wisdom that was absolutely unnecessary and unrelated to the topic. Here's to you, the man who jumped into the lion's cage to pray the beast through to God, the woman who sued McDonald's for making their coffee too hot, and especially to all wannabe preppies, who pop their collars and sip frappuchinos like they know what real coffee tastes like.

This post is dedicated to David Hasselhoff, the chief among all morons. Just ask the man: had it not been for him, the Berlin Wall would have never come down.
