    My dad was nearly killed by stupid people where he used to work!
    One stupid person was his boss, and he gave my dad hyper-tension and high blood pressure. My dad got him back, though. On his last day, my dad scared his boss so much he gave HIM a heart attack.

    That's why I think work places must be divided for work only with stupid or only clever. According to Darwin theory, 'clever' offices would outstand 'stupid' and stupid people would have to become clever.

    For the stupid people who annoy me, late night pranks help to vent my frustrations. If they're too stupid to grasp the value of well though-out pranks, then I just make them look bad and get moved to a different section.

    The real problem comes in when its your boss that's the stupid person, which seems to be the rule rather than the exception now days.

    ... wherefore we can conclude that my attending the university will dramatically shorten my lifespan.

    Still there are advantages to being stupid, they always seem to get very good jobs.

    Smart people give 'em good jobs so that smart people are ruling a business, but are invisible. Many tzars became tzars because in the right moment they behavoured like stupid.

    Proof Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
    Postulate 2: Time is Money.

    As every smart person knows, Power = Work/Time.
    Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we get;
    Knowledge = Work/Money
    Solving for money, we find

    Money = Work/Knowledge

    The greater your knowledge, the more work you have to do for your money. Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.

    The solution of course is to be smart enough to play stupid, and have the other smart people do all the hard stuff and have heart-attacks from the stress.

    True. They say it takes a genius to play the fool.
