Too funny.... However "stoopid" people keep alot of us employed, extremely annoyed but employed fixing their mess-ups. Sometimes I wonder if my expectations of a certain level of common sense/intelligence are just too high....
We are surrounded by stupidity and ignorance. It's not going to change to matter how much we wish/hope/pray....
Ditto Hazel. The level of foolishness I am surrounded with on a daily is frightening. When I am in court, I get nervous breathing the same air.
