“An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.” – Ernest Hemingway
A fine quote of the day, particularly after a period of abstemiousness such as we have recently endured around these parts; ah, I have been in this position (barring the gender) far too many times. Let it just be said that I bear it with ill grace, and am given to asking, with the earnest expression of a dedicated seeker after mysteries, “why is it that are you are all so incredibly stupid?”

Well the difference between drink and stupid is drink wears off but stupid is forever.
But stupid is free.
It is facts like that that make me question God.
God put dumb people here to provide a source of protein when we run out of cows for burgers.
No way. I am not eating dumb people. You are what you eat you know I am sticking with cows first and if that does not work out the vegetable clan second.

Stupid may be free but stupid is stupid

I am really pleased that we have the good fortune of Mr Jacos’ visiting and I flatter myself that I agree with the most welcome Mr Jacobs on so many things …. apart of course from politics and religion
… and it is indeed difficult to disagree with his assertion which can be expressed algebraically as :
a = a
but as a Rooinek, living in a Country with such a benevolently expensive Government, with average MP’s annual expenses of £113,000 EACH … and where the more you pay GPs (err … English Doctors in the Canuckistani vernacular), the less work they actually do
… surely Mr Jacobs should perhaps place a higher value on a humbler human achievement which is FREE, unlike Government Guarantees for Northern Rock and Inquests into Lady Diana’s death so many years ago

max: cows are dumb as well. And you know what they call really, REALLY stupid people? Vegetables.
Jeremy: stupid and drunk are very similar, but one is more expensive. In fact, come to think of it, stupid people are cheaper than cows, and may even be less intellectual! Wow, why aren’t we eating them now?
GE: Should we start with some of those lazy, greedy GPs?
Hmm, the subtleties of my choice of cows and vegetables before dumb people got lost around here somewhere
See what happens when I only have one coffee? I will take a break now, before I pull another of these…
Stupid is just a state of mind. Strangely, not unlike drunkenness.
Ummm…ya.
N’mancer “Stupid is just a state of mind …. ”
Surely stupid is as stupid does …. it is an action ….
I always thought it was a political affiliation.
Drunkenness is definitely a political affiliation. Stupid is more of a political philosophy…
Otherwise known as the Bush Doctrine. ;) Yeah, I know, old news…
The cure for foolishness is repeated blows to the ego.
Stupidity, alas, has no cure.
Drunkeness is a religious position.
So, Bush is a wise atheist?
“So, Bush is a wise atheist?”

If only he could have choked on that pretzel. Imagine: polio couldn’t slow FDR down, but GWB almost lost the battle of his life to a salty snack. I call it for the pretzel, myself. The SS intervened!
Careful what you wish for. I’ve got three words for you: President Dick Cheney.
How grateful I am that I don’t live in the US. I keep hearing that he has a heart murmur…and I keep thinking “that’s just because it can’t scream with the gag in its mouth.”
