Stupid People

[ZenGum]

The only con I've been suckered into lately was accepting Cicero's challenge to reach 1,000 posts, when she was already 700 in front of me.

I thought the point about the stupid people and beggars was the sucker who gives an unreasonably large amount of money to a beggar because they believed some made-up sob story. I'm not really sure if that is stupidity though.
Or am I being stupid in not grasping your irony and you already knew this? Duhhhhhhh?

My next stupid people story comes from when I was working in a petrol station (gas station to USAns.) A refinery strike led to an odds-and-evens rationing system; you could only buy petrol on alternate days, depending on whether your number plate ended with an even or odd number.
Questions included:
*Is it the first digit or last digit I check? (from a guy whose numbers were ALL even!)
*Is zero an even number? (Just let me check my reference list for you sir...)
*What's an even number? (WTF? Helllloooooo?)

I remember being told that zero isn't an even number in Elementary school. Funny.

Just responding to this my dear. And the fact that you hadn't said anything formerly in the thread on the topic was also made into a joke/jab at me by Shawnee.....

The events of the thread as I recall and don't even have to go back to look: Cloud tries to quote Zen who had never posted about the topic....I said: what?!? to Cloud.. And Shawnee pops in to the stupid people thread to call me stupid for not getting what you hadn't ever said.

I thought it was well played.....by Shawnee.


Sigh.....and as for my current obssessions and admirations outside of Shawnee for being funny and quicker than lightning..well....


Am I fixated with you?!? You aren't even joking about that anymore...maybe you never were..Holy ....Not that I shouldn't be...or you or undeserveing or something....but holy crap...I was kidding. But not anymore. I'm just learning not to joke with the wrong people. Where are your smilies? You have a bad day so all of a sudden you can take a long-running joke out of context?
