who aren't politicians because we all know they're liars.

But here are some dumb things I've heard people say:

"I don't think anyone is smarter than me" when talking to this guy about clip in pedals for bicycles. He was wondering who invented such a thing and I said "people smarter than us" to which I get the reply above.

"Black people can't be racist."

Let's hear the dumb things you've heard people say.

This was years ago when I was about 20 years old. A bunch of friends were in my car and we had just got Burger King to eat. One of the girls in the backseat opened the door while we were driving out of the parking lot and threw her trash out. I yelled at her and told her there was a $300 fine for littering. She replied, “I threw it out the door not the window.”

That was my first thought too.

I'll nominate something I said.

A few years back I went to the Outdoor Expo and they had an exhibit of deer mounts, most of them world records. One of them was a non typical mule deer with an enormous rack and the display said it had drowned. About that time a Game & Fish guy came over and asked if I had any questions. I said no and he went away.

I kept looking at the non typical thinking what a shame it was that some hunter didn't get the opportunity to take such a magnificent animal.

About that time, here came the Game & Fish guy again and asked if I had any questions. I said no. Then he made a fatal mistake. He said that there were no stupid questions. I was getting annoyed by him and therefore I took what he said as a challenge.

So I looked over at him and said "how did you hold his head underwater long enough for him to drown."

He just walked away and didn't come back.

and that’s the issue I face. Thinking back on the dumb things I’ve said in my life, I couldn’t possibly throw someone else under the bus. At this time I’m thinking of a couple things I said to my dad. I guess I’m reflecting on things that were unintentionally hurtful more than dumb.

A customer wanted a 48” post sleeve for his deck project. I showed him one. He asked, “Is this one 48” tall or wide.”

He was dead fuckin serious....

Maybe I'm not as smart as I think but a couple days ago the local weatherman said we should get a bereavement from the cold temperatures by midweek. I rewound it and he didn't say reprieve, he said bereavement.

I'll add one.

One very hot day when I was a kid my mother and I were driving in her car. The air conditioning wasn't working very well. So I said:

"This fan blows."

......................never lived that one down.

In this case, it came out of my mouth:

"Will you marry me?" - (first wife, marriage lasted less than a year). I said the same thing to my current wife, and it was a lot less stupid.

I guess if he turned it sideways, he's not wrong?

How about "I am a democrat".

There is almost no end to the dumb things I have heard people say in the last month, never mind my whole life.

I've been working at Home Depot in the electrical dept. I could write a book on the dumb things I've heard people say there.

From my Doctors Receptionist:
"Have you traveled recently"?
Me: "Yes! From my house to your office"!

“I’ve visited 57 states.” Obozo. ( there are 57 Islamic states).

An acquaintance absconded with an item of mine. It eventually came down to me stating that taking something that's not yours makes you a thief. His reply "I don't identify as a thief so I'm not a thief". That's not how this works. That's not how anything works.

You should have kicked him in the dick and then stated “ I don’t identify as a dick kicker, so ergo I am not a dick kicker”

When we were very young my little brother paused during dinner, looked at my parents and pointed using the chicken drumstick he was eating and said, "Is this the front leg of the chicken or the back?"

We still laugh about that 40 years later.

My personal favorite is at every single funeral someone comments “He/she looks really good.” I used to let it slide now I don’t. I go ask you do know he is deceased? They say yes. Then I ask how good can someone look if they have passed.
