ahem
this entry will be completely cynical
and rude
just to forewarn you.

i was at the wild animal park with my mom and step-dad today when i couldnt help but notice the utter stupidity the human race is capable of displaying.
for instance:
i was standing in front of the crocodile inclosure when a rather corpulent man walks up behind me with his wife, he then turns to her and says, and i quote, "those are crocodiles am i right? they eat people...they are the ones that eat people...and the alligators are vegitarians. am i right?" at this point i am not only shocked, but amazed, because this fellow was completely serious.
so from that point i decided to keep my ears open for more evidence of absurdity that people might let slide out while gauking at imprisoned animals. i was not dissappointed in my persuit for stupidity. here is yet another example of stupidity at the zoo:
i was standing in front of the sun bear exhibit(this hatitat is a fairly good sized cage, and there is a faux rock sculpture that goes through the middle of it but in the cage the bears can move freely) when a girl walks from one side of the rock sculpture to the other side, sees the same two bears that she saw on the other side of the rock, and says to her mother, "look there are 2 more black bears over here."
it is astonishing how clueless people can be.
i kno i do some pretty stupid things
but WOW.

a bit of advice from me to you my dear friends:
please for the sake of your dignity
think before you speak.
not only think but ask yourself,
"if i say this will people assume that i have an iq of 15?"
and if you have to ask yourself that question about what you are about to say
i encourage you to keep your mouth shut.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
