Stupid Hurts!!! Everyone.

Is it me or has America become more stupid? I'm not talking I.Q., book learned stupid, I mean the "I know the stove is hot but I wanna make sure, so I'll touch it" stupid. I see more and more examples of this everyday.
You all have seen, or heard examples of this kind of stupid. I actually had a friend of mine tell me a story, he actually told me this story! His wife and him were with another couple. They were driving in a rural area, when they came upon a deer crossing sign. his wife looked at the sign and said "I don't understand that." When her husband explained that it meant deer are often seen crossing in this area, she replied, " Why would they cross here, when there is a stop sign right down the road?" What is wrong with people? Were they dropped on their head as a kid or are they just that moronic?
I like to think that folks aren't really as bad as they seem. As soon as I almost convince myself of this, another person comes along to convince me otherwise. my only hope is that natural selection will weed these humans out over the years. I can say this though, I don't really have a lot of confidence in that!
Here are some other examples of grand stupidity.
I was at the Hot Dog Shoppe in Girard (JibJabs). While sitting their you can hear the drive thru intercom. A lady rolled through the drive thru, and asked for 2 hot dogs with Cheddar and chili, and a small medium fry. Now let that sink in a second. A SMALL MEDIUM? Come on! Even my 8 year old son caught that and started laughing at this women.
I have actually heard one person say, while being given directions, "Now which way do I turn on that one-way street?" Come on really?
There was a lady in Wisconsin who sued a motor home manufacturer all because she wrecked her brand new motor coach. Apparently the lady started driving her motor home, once on the road she set the cruise control. She then proceeded to get up and go to make a sandwich. As you may have guessed the motor home barrelled of the road and was totalled. You know what this lady actually said? She said that no one told her that cruise control didn't mean she had to stay on the seat and steer and it wasn't in the owners manual. COME ON! Now here is the really shitty part. This lady actually won her case and received a large monetary settlement. You gotta love personal injury lawyers.
Anyway I have had enough of stupid people for today. Remember,
Life is all mixed up, so enjoy the spin!
