They walk among us. And what is so much worse, they mate and have offspring.

Often procreating more often than their more intelligent compatriots. It seems we are genetically inspired to reduce the average intelligence of the species.

Unfortunately, you may be correct, sir.

Sad really, how people can be so dumb.

Happy Thanksgiving to our members in the US.

There is no cure for stupid!!

That is the scariest part, eh?

Actually, if they do endeavor to vote, most wouldn't know George Washington from George Plimpton.

IIRC, Darwin postulated the survival of the most fertile, not the strongest or smartest, except where those qualities are essential for prolific mating. Behaviour in bars and clubs could support either scenario, nonetheless.

Apparently it's "rude" to ask the parents of a kid on a leash if it's a rescue.

I hadn’t heard aboot Canada becoming the 51st state although I’m sure our Canuckian friends will welcome the endeavour. Unfortunately it’s not going to happen: 51st State was a pretty decent burger joint on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street and is now an American style restaurant in Dunoon, so the name is taken. They’ll have to settle for 52nd state. Sorry.

A man who just died is delivered to the mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. He points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.
The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the mortician a blank check and says, "I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing."
The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly.
She says to the mortician, "Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?"
To her astonishment, the mortician presents her with the blank check.
"There's no charge," he says.
"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!" she says.
"Honestly, ma'am," the mortician says, "it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.
"Then it was just a matter of switching the heads

The picture reminds me of a short story by German writer Heinrich Böll, "Anekdote zur Senkung der Arbeitsmoral" (Anecdote concerning the Lowering of Productivity).

Quoted from the english wikipedia:

The story is set in an unnamed harbor on the west coast of Europe.[1] A smartly-dressed enterprising tourist is taking photographs when he notices a shabbily dressed local fisherman taking a nap in his fishing boat. The tourist is disappointed with the fisherman's apparently lazy attitude towards his work, so he approaches the fisherman and asks him why he is lying around instead of catching fish. The fisherman explains that he went fishing in the morning, and the small catch would be sufficient for the next two days.

The tourist tells him that if he goes out to catch fish multiple times a day, he would be able to buy a motor in less than a year, a second boat in less than two years, and so on. The tourist further explains that one day, the fisherman could even build a small cold storage plant, later a pickling factory, fly around in a helicopter, build a fish restaurant, and export lobster directly to Paris without a middleman.

The nonchalant fisherman asks, "Then what?"

The tourist enthusiastically continues, "Then, without a care in the world, you could sit here in the harbor, doze in the sun, and look at the glorious sea."

"But I'm already doing that", says the fisherman.

The enlightened tourist walks away pensively, with no trace of pity for the fisherman, only a little envy.

Right then, let's get back to jokes?
