A week or so ago Mia’s bro ClimbingGuru (in case you didn’t notice, I just make these names up by combining random words that float around in my head), AngryDrunk, and myself went out to a bar nearby where I live. There we met the definition of stupid. The conversation went like this:
Edereth: The person’s country of origin was once referred to as the “Red Country”. Where is this person from?
Stupid: Umm…. Minnesota?
E: What?! No, no, not “Red State”, “Red Country”. We’re not talking about Republican states here.
S: Oh! Okay. Umm… Texas?
E: No! Not states! Countries! Red COUNTRY!
AngryDrunk: She can’t be this dumb. She’s fucking with us, right?
S: ……
E: Look, I’ll give you a hint. The person in question’s name is [insert your favorite common Slavic name here].
S: Got it! Mexico!
E: !!!!!
ClimbingGuru: No. Not Mexico. (cracks up.)
E: This is hilarious. Wow. Okay, another hint. This country is very cold.
S: Umm…. Antartica?
E: HAHAHAHAHAHA
AD: Dude, you can’t be this stupid. It’s not possible! Stop fucking with us.
CG: No. Not Antartica. We’re talking about a country here, not continents. How about this hint. We were involved in a non-shooting war with this country for decades. Does that help?
S: ….. No.
CG: Jesus! Alright, alroght, this is the largest country in the world.
S: ….. Asia?
E: No! Not continents! Countries!
AG: Are you really this stupid?
S: Umm…. Africa?
Folks, I can’t make up stuff this good. This girl really couldn’t guess after all the hints we gave her. Finally we told her and moved on to talking about politics. The presidential debate just happened and of course that was what everyone talked about. Stupid was resoundingly pro-Obama, though she couldn’t tell us why or name a single issue that was important to her. This, if you read the above, is not that surprising. She then decided to ask us where we all stood on the political spectrum. AngryDrunk is pro-Obama and said so. I’m still undecided, and mentioned this. ClimbingGuru, being a conservative, said:
CG: I’m a hundred miles right of Ronald Reagan.
S: …….
CG: Right of Ronald Reagan. Okay?
S: …… Who’s Ronald Reagan?
CG: ….. What?! Please, please do me a favor. Don’t vote. You’re too stupid to vote.
And yes, folks. She is too stupid to vote. So the moral of this story is “friends don’t let friends vote stupid”. Remember that. And study hard in your Geography class.
