Aint stupid till yous stupider

There's a butt. In the movie "Idiocracy" a whole nation waddles into the theatre to see a big butt on the screen. It farts and everyone laughs, again and again.

Bubble gum for the head. We've all been through it, standing there. They sometimes gang up and almost on cue recite the headlines of todays news, a good show, and maybe even a commercial or two. Faces glossed over with the sheen of make believe. It's too bad really because sometimes they seem ok.

However; it's a real drag to get caught up in that lil eye popper, the device, the ghostly guest, the tube type conversation with them. Always a very safe, confined type conversation.

A wise man once told me that knowing when to say "yep" and "unh huh" and "hmnnnn" would make people think you're smart. It's because they think you are agreeing with what they are saying and they think that they are smart. Therefore if you agree, then you must be smart. Unfortunately the man hung himself one day but his advice was solid in most other areas.

It's like a rigged exam where everybody showed up to get the answers and I was at home sleeping. I don't have the damn script from last nights presentation and now I'm the dumb one. "Yep", "hmnnnn", "Hey, I'll be back"

Technically play stupid could work. "How do you work a remote?"
