Summerdale, AL - Men are Idiots

I’m sure that you’ve all heard of the study that proves that Men Are Idiots. Yep, a whole new study comes out with this tidbit of knowledge. But wasn’t this proven before? How many studies do we need? How much more money will we waste? Just ask a woman. No, that’s just anecdotal evidence. We need facts and this study actually studies facts like hospital records and comes to the same conclusion that women did millions of years ago.

A study recently published in the BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal) actually looked at the past winners of the Darwin awards. Now, many of you have heard of these but, if you haven’t, here is the jist of the criteria: people who die in such an idiotic manner that ‘their action ensures the long-term survival of the species, by selectively allowing one less idiot to survive.’ Sucinctly, it removes one idiot from the gene pool. I point you to the Darwin Awards web site for the gruesome details. OI have here two of the less gruesome stories.

Two examples of past winners: the man who shot himself in the head with a "spy pen" weapon to show his friend that it was real; and the terrorist who mailed a letter bomb with insufficient postage and who, upon its return, opened it. Then there was the story about the 2 men, drunk as skunks, who braved the subway, one lying between the tracks theorizing that the train would pass over him, the other lying to the side theorizing that the train would pass near him. Unfortunately the train was wider and lower than they theorized.

But, back to the study - again the Male Idiot Theory was proven.

Having read this new news, my honey bunch, stud muffin turned to me, grinned and delicately asked: ‘Sweetie, if men are idiots then what are you women who marry them?’ Well he had me there. Then he reminded me that we tied for grade point average in our graduating class. And we women spend bundles of time and effort trying to attract these idiots. I think we need another study.

We still have acorns in the oak trees above us. We’ve had so many fall on our RV that I thought they’d be all gone by now but, nope, lots still up there just waiting for a quiet moment to drop and scare the begeebers out of us. Gary actually checked the roof to see how many were up there.
