I've never been knocked speechless by stupid before. Well, there's a first time for everything.
So, we're out for pet supplies and toilet paper last night, when my sister decides to take a detour to the electronics department to mess around with their Guitar Hero II demo. I'm all like, "Oh, God, this will take hours," so I decided to look around the rest of the section until she was done so as to avoid boredom. I stop by the DS demo to mess around with it a bit. Right above my head was a TV playing a Wii commercial; yeah, it's a good system, but I don't care. I'm playing the DS. All of a sudden, from right beside me there's this old man yelling, "IT DON'T PLAY DVDS!!"
The fuck?
So I said to the guy, "Dude, it's a game system. You play games on it." "It don't play DVDs, though. They's got some games that play DVDs. PS2 plays DVDs, PS3 does, too." "That's...nice, but you don't buy a game system just to play DVDs. You buy it to play games. You buy a DVD player if you just want to watch DVDs." "I got DVD players. But I want to watch them on my game systems. I'm not going to settle for next to nothing."
So, at this point, it is clear to me that the man is either senile, under the influence, or completely stupid. I am floored by the thought that a game system is worthless if it doesn't play DVDs, and that a game system's primary purpose is to play DVDs and NOT GAMES. So, I have my patented "WTF?" face on, just staring at this...alien being before me. Apparently he took my silence for geniune interest and awe, and continued on:
"You know why some folks got next to nothing? 'Cause they settle for next to nothing. I got a job at Steak Out, and I make some good money, too. But some folks want to give me 'bout fifty cents for a tip, I just throw it on the ground. Let the kids find it. 'Cause kids don't know any better, they just pick it up and think 'Wow, money!' But fifty cents, that's nothing, and it's not good enough for me."
Apparently the asshole is unaware that money STACKS. If you get a $0.50 tip and keep it, you are $0.50 richer; if you keep all of your $0.50 tips, you will see that they begin to coalesce into DOLLARS.
And the best part of all this? For all the dipshit's high and mighty attitude, the entire conversation took place in a WAL-MART.
I lol'd.
