A friend of mine (the ‘sum bitch won’t let me use his name) has a brood of kids. He does not let them use computer or watch TV much. I asked if his kids are smart. He says, “Just the usual 99.5 percentile stuff.”
“Really?,” I reply.
“Hey, it’s genes,” he replies. “We forget how smart all of us are. We essentially have no contact with stupid people. Go to a county fair–you will see.”
Funny!
