I often remind myself, as well as those around me, of this basic principle. Consider the intelligence of the average person. I’m talking the average person. You’ve taken the intelligence of everybody and divided by the number of people. Let’s remember all of those Southern states, too. Got it? Alright, so now that we have that average person’s intelligence in mind, supposing that the curve is symmetrical, or even mildly so, you could infer that roughly half of the people in the world are more stupid than that person. This is supposing that the curve is symmetrical, of course, but you get the point. This explains running into those people that can’t operate a belt. This also explains people that are pointed to something in a store, go to it, look at it, then come back to you to ask where it is, even though they were just looking directly at them. I helped both of these people. A mother and a son, neither of which knew how to operate a belt, the mother tried to get me to give her a new belt because she lost the “broken” buckle from her son’s previous belt. She later went ahead and opened a pair of socks to try them on. In California it is illegal to sell previously worn socks, mind you. Her son was the brilliant one who looked directly at a rack of books who then asked where those books were. While they were here, I wanted to kill them. Now I’m laughing my ass off. Too bad you have to wait until after those moments to laugh at them.
Not that it matters, but they were Chinese. She was blunt, rude, and slightly loud. This didn’t help my self control when it came to snapping, but I still maintained.
Boobies.
