Purpura is right the CMs are not all the brightest people but most are bright from the shining goodness as evidenced by Papura and many others I have met in my life.

Wow I sure missed a lot of huffing and puffing over nothing, lol.
Oh well another group to offend, how many passes did they get?

When I worked at the Federal Court System I was often sent out to teach people. My students generally were Court Financial Administrators, Clerks of Court, and Federal Judges.

I had a slide that I almost always used at the start of a class:
Three Definitions:

Ignorance - Lack of knowledge (This is usually curable)

Stupidity - Ignorance coupled with an unwillingness to learn (Many people consider this a Capital crime)

Stupid Question
- One which you do not ask as you are afraid you will show ignorance
I would then give a comment that if someone did not understand some information I was giving, there might be others with the same question; and that if asked I would re-explain the point from a different direction.

Anyway, I often had people, after the class, asking if they could have the slide or if they could make their own for use in classes which they taught. I always gave permission, and if I was not going to be using the slide again on that trip I would give it away and print another back at my office.

(And anyone who reads this, if you want to use that as your own slide, feel free to do so (just don't claim credit).)

Looks like a good tee shirt to me.

We could add:
Stupid Guest - A theme park visitor who displays a tendancy toward stupidity and/or annoying behavior. (Should be a hanging offence in many cases)

or:

Stupid guest: combining elements of the first two without the redeaming element of the last, and unwilling to care!

Far be it for me to insist on stopping a perfectly good fight. Feel free to duke it out at will. Just as long as both (or all) sides recognize what it is they are fighting about first. :D:
