Oh my! Well, not everyone (including me) can be an Einstein or DaVinci. Some folks are smarter and/or more talented than others. That's life. We all have a place in this world. Having said that, I am astounded at how anyone can be that ... what's the word? ... stupid?

I still don't get the 'Deer Crossing' signs! --What a waste of tax-payer dollars!! (just like, "If you're in an accident, move your car onto the shoulder." DUH!!)

When the deers can "READ" THAT SIGN, they will also learn to use and carry guns/ammo --they might even be able to obtain a CCP/Concealed Carry Permit because it obviously doesn't take much brains to get one these days!

Deers are ALL over the place around here (Cleveland, OH) --especially around dusk and dawn-- Even going slow, you hit one, you're looking at a least $1K in damage, but Bambi is able to Run Off!!

Blessings,

Lisa

Good job on insulting members of the forum, real classy.

Sadly, there are too many people like this caller out there.

Perhaps you missed it, but the point of the video isn't about getting a CCP. And, it really isn't about the hazard of hitting deer. The point is, some people are real stupid. Yup. Real stupid.

Talking

Hahahah. That's a hoot. No, the point of her call-in is to get a laugh and to get her 15 minutes of fame.

I was using this joke 30 years ago.

fa·ce·tious/fəˈsēSHəs/


Adjective:
Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.

Do you all remember the person who complained a couple years ago about going on Daylight Savings Time where we'd have an extra hour of daylight when we're already having Global Warming? Wouldn't that extra hour of daylight just make it even hotter?

And dontcha know, those "idiots" on Jaywalking know full well if they answer Leno's questions seriously they'll never make it on TV?

"Let's answer with something outrageously stupid enough to get on Leno tonight!"

And what any of this has to do with CCP, well, I don't have a clue there.

Better idea: Buy a deer crossing sign and put it near your stand. Much easier than moving the stand IMO.

One phrase comes to mind, "Dee Dee Dee"

Hard to believe someone could be that stupid, but like I was once told. "Don't underestimate the power of mass stupidity"

Hey Lisa. We were just talking about you recently. We were wondering if you were going to make it into the pub or not?

I'm not sure it's a joke. There are some mind-boggling sto0pid people out there. Ever watch Repo Games? People fail on "how many sides does a stop sign have?" or "how many 't's are in tattoo?" and many other elementary school level questions.

Frankly, I had forgotten about it, but I JUST JOINED!! (9pm EST 10/18) ...Hey, I'm into SnM! Tear me apart all you want because I WILL argue/fight back when topics are not off-limits!

But mostly, at least most of you will welcome me into the Club House!
