I take it all back

The Stupidity, it BURNS

Maybe people are too stupid to carry guns

On May 21, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased "Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries" because she believed "crunchberries" were real fruit.

I want to believe this was just some stupid ploy to get free money, but I have this niggling feeling that this bint honestly thought there were Crunchberry orchards.

Can't wait to see when she realizes the dude on the box isn't a real captain either.

When I moved out here I was given a phone number that was one digit off from the Super WalMart. You can only imagine the number of wrong numbers I had. Usually late at night asking "are you still open".

At first I was polite and redirected them. After about the 50thth call I started having fun with the ones that asked the dumbest questions followed by asking for the store hours. My favorite. "No, we're closed. There was a Beriberi Outbreak in Produce." (Want to make a bet the next day someone asked about a sale on the Berry Berries.)

Yeah, but did she call 911?

Almost makes one want to administer a minimum intelligence test before issuing a gun license . . . . almost.

Or would it be better to have everyone carry a gun? Then let "natural selection" weed out the dummies? Almost guarantee who's going down first, and it ain't the 2A-carrying Conservative.
