You can't cure stupid.
You can manage it, you can educate it, you can even, if pushed too far, ignore it completely. But you can't cure it. It's a terminal condition. Apparently quite contagious. And far, far too widespread.
The patient had woken up with a headache and taken "a handful" of aspirin in response.
But wait a minute, said the doc, you're violently allergic to aspirin. It says so on all of your medical records.
Well sure, answered the patient, but this wasn't name brand aspirin. It was the generic.

Despite the fact that bubba had a life-threatening experience: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
generic eh ? ditto's of Amy's comment.
That takes stupid to a whole new level! It's funny but oh, so sad.
But what would your readers do without stupid?
Darwin Award nominee??????
Thinning of the herd????
eewwwwwwkay.
dum,dee,dum,dumb!
Ha!
We rely on the stupid to give us a good story!
Well that lightens things up a bit, even if it was potentially life threatening!
I'm with your Stacie. Takes stupid to a whole new level.
Ignorance. Maybe another case of not understanding simple terms. Argh. breaks your heart.
BTW I saw some research recently that showed that for many people Brand Named meds are stronger and more effective than generic - if they know/think they are Brand Names, especially pain-killers. It also found that many think the generic drugs have different ingredients/lower dosage.
So this one is not alone. Even more argh really.
And usually, those types are really good at reproducing. I know, cause I teach their progeny.
And they vote too!!!
Look at it this way, at least when your around this type it makes YOU feel so brilliant.
"a handful.."?
A sad commentary indeed, but one which makes me feel pretty good about myself!
I'm with Graham Cracker...that makes this sad reality even scarier...
Unbelievable!
This helps explain a lot of stuff, like: Signs on ladders asking you not to step on the top rung, the small print on fingernail polish remover saying this is not to be ingested, and the warning on my shampoo bottle stating that it is for external use only.
I used to believe that these warnings were unwaranted, but now I know better.
Thank you.
Some people look like grown ups and vote and marry and have children and go to jobs, but they ought to do none of these things.
You hit the nail on the head GW.
There is NO WAY they could be THAT stupid. (shaking my head in amazement.....)
Oh Good Lord...
