baby, what's in that satchel?

*long and mean-spirited post up ahead. if th'art easily offended, turn back...TURN BAAAACK !! before it's too late.

was waiting for my hair to dry and surfing through some blogs, when i realized that some people can be really really stupid. and i'm not talkin' ordinary stupid here, folks. i'm talking jump-off-a-cliff-together-with-boy/girlfriend-if-they-promosed-to-love-you-forever kind of stupid. ya. like dumber than rocks. anyhoo, this made me recall a conversation i had with my cousin stoo in a bus a couple of years ago. the gist of it was something like this (with my own modifications here and there):

that everybody, when they reach the age of 16 should take a test of stupidity (or lack thereof). the scope of the test should be wide-ranging, from etiquette, to general iq, to e.q. to all sorts of things. kindof like an emode personality test, but more legit. and then from there, a panel of judges made up of people from all different parts of society sit down and judge whether or not the candidate is suitable for life in everyday society.

those who are too stupid, or immature, or generally unsuitable to be seen by the general public, will then be put in a zoo where they will be "rehabilitated", and then maybe let free after taking the test again. if they fail repeatedly, then they shall be like the village idiots. sometimes useful, but usually just there so that other people can throw things at them. included in this losers-of-society category shall be able-bodied dole-bludgers, big brother housemates, cApZtArDzZz, rednecks, people who refuse to use deodorant after several warnings to do so...in other words, people who are blatantly annoying even though they know better.

of course, it's not going to be completely cruel. people with disabilities, or mental retardation, or broken arms, or gimp-legs aren't going to be put in zoos. all the more reason they should be in loving company. hippies are currently a borderline case. if they do nothing but toke up all day and smell of cheap incense without doing anything useful, then they can be put in the zoo i guess. but if they are useful and actively try to save whales, or grow weed, then they can live next door to my place. or maybe not too near but near enough, because they might still be less-inclined to wash. and also sometimes, i'm not very environmentally-friendly.

so have a think and see if there's anybody you reckon should be in this zoo. three solid referals plus a thorough background check can see that special somebody fast-tracked on their journey to the zoo of shame!
