The only trouble with terminal stupidity is...

It doesn't work fast enough.

I was a real nonconformist among my own age group all through school, as I steadfastly refused to do idiotic and reckless things, mostly because I could easily visualize the whole sequence in my mind ahead of time and decide that it simply wasn't worth the probable consequences. Accordingly, I never once got seriously drunk, or had a bad hangover, or broke a limb, or whatever...in other words I didn't have "fun" in the usual manner of my peer group. My way of having fun was to read a good book, or play music, or write a song or something like that. As for stag parties, I have always regarded them with such utter contempt that there are really no words to describe it. A party where there are no women (except a stripper) present is not much of a party as far as I'm concerned. Oh, for those who don't know me, I'm male...

The result of my moderate attitude to life back then was that I was considered a geek, but I am now considered wise. Ha! Ha! Like they say, time wounds all heels. The pity of it is, the morons who seemingly cannot look ahead to see the predictable results of their fun seeking actions frequently hurt other people as well as themselves.

A pox on the rascals, I say! May they drown in the punch bowl of their own stupidity. :-D
