Rampaging Stupidity

Two quickies for you today.

1) Dressing Up Pets

In the words of the immortal Jay Leno, "Your dog is NOT going to wear this!"

Sister-In-Law has two adorable pups who had to endure much this past Halloween. Later, she brought the dog's "costumes" with her to a family gathering and showed them off for us. If that poor mutt looks like she's about to pack it in and perform a Seppuku ritual, it's because that's the *second* time she's been forced to wear that thing in public.

There are those who say that dogs can't talk. These people have never looked into a mongrel's eyes at a time like this. Pup1 saw Pup2 in her costume, and her eyes bugged out. She was clearly saying, "OMG! Do *I* look at dumb as you do?" The dogs promptly started chewing and pulling on each other's costumes, trying to get them off.

The best part was watching Father-In-Law, who turned blue from laughing so hard.

2) Winner?

This story includes an act of stupidity so severe, I'm not even going to identify the folks involved with nicknames.

Some folks I know were gathered and watching "Gone With The Wind" on DVD. If you don't know, then you should know that the movie is set during and after the Civil War (and if you didn't know, don't admit to it, you ninny).

Anyway, the movie was nearing the final stages when one of the participants sighed and asked, "I wonder what it would be like if the South had won?"

Another participant replied, "Won what?"

It's even funnier if you know the participant involved. This individual has a knack for appearing to be fully engaged in whatever's going on without actually having any clue what is going on. A truly priceless moment.
