Ahh from despair.com (http://www.despair.com/idiocy.html). Home of such wonderful quotes as:

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

It's difficult to comprehend how insane some people can be. Especially when you're insane.

No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.

As long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems.

And my favorite....

Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important

I love that site; one of our HR personnel recommended that site to me. I want to create my own calendar with their sayings.

Common sense isn't lacking in just wiitwd... it's endangered in daily life. The schools don't teach it and most parents don't seem to think it's an important lesson to teach their kids and some people just don't seem to be able to grasp it on any level. As an ex of one of my daughters used to say "If you can't laugh at the stupid who can you laugh at?"

the answer to many of the threads is the same. Maybe it's because it is so incredibly simple that it is so often overlooked. Common sense.

Erin, as you know when the human body becomes aroused a certain amount of blood is diverted to the genitalia, which of course must come from somewhere else in the body.

I am guessing it is usually diverted from the brain.

I read the boards some days also and feel like saying something like you did. For goodness sakes, show common sense, smile, enjoy life and all those ordinary things some have such a hard time doing. At the end of the day, the flogger is still going to fly.
