Rampant Dumbasses
-
They finally delivered my materials today. The driver sets the first forkload down and has to move his truck (he had parked on the road, because he thought there would be little traffic) to let folks get by.
As he's trying to crawl back on the forklift, an idiot in an old, ratty Ford pickup of multiple hues of rattlecan silver, parks that POS in the middle of the road and proceeds to have a one-sided conversation with the driver, who is desperately trying to do his job and be nice at the same time.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I've got a cold and feel like nine miles of bad road. I was just lowering myself into a steaming hot bath, when the wife hollered at me the delivery truck was here. So, I jerk on some clothes and go outside in my slippers to show the guy where to put the material in the tractor shed.
As I'm standing there in the 90/70 (90degrees/70%humidity) waiting on this idiot, who is delivering his soliloquy so loud that I can hear him 200 feet away and contemplating at just what point I need to walk out there and tell the aforementioned goober that some people need to get to work, it occurred to me what the probable problem was... We're dealing with a drunk (common) or a meth head(more common). Must be, because even dumb people aren't stupid enough to block a public road to direct a seven minute, one-sided conversation to a working man who is running behind in his deliveries.
Thank God he finally ran out of wind, because I'm trying to decide which weapon I pick up when I have to walk to the road. I said a little prayer for patience and God was listening, because the Silver Idiot cranked his deathtrap up and left. Finally.
You know, the world is filled with dumbasses. In olden days, God has a working system in place to deal with then...They worked or they stole or they starved. Working, they stayed out of trouble or died on the job. Stealing was eventually discovered and they went to a not very nice place for several years or were hanged after a fair or unfair trial. Starving self-limited the dumbass population
In a first world country, we have turned out back on God's system and now try to rehabilitate the dopers and provide for the dumbasses. As such, we have a plethora, a herd, a cascade ( insert correct term here ____) of dumbasses run rampant.
Right now, in my present condition, I think work, starvation or hanging is a much more efficient way of controlling the dumbass population.
