What's the dumbest thing you've heard this week?
Me?
I heard that the people in my hometown are talking about the reasons for the flooding that happened a few months ago. Here's one of the theories: Apparently it flooded so badly because, out east the train tracks are not made for water to go under them.
This is ridiculous, because the water came from the west. They need to stop talking to each other and just come to the realization that when we get 10 inches of rain in four hours there is just no place for the water to go. I understand they're in pain, but stop the insanity...Oh and the worst part? I told my mom that made no sense and it was totally illogical, but she's completely drank the kool aid.

1. A bull of mine sometimes goes visiting at the neighboring guest ranch
(I am pretty sure he was actually born there - LONG story involving the previous moronic owners) So on Wednesday I get a call that he is over there and ate their flowers (planters in front of the buildings) so I go over to chase him home and find all of their rental horses out, horse tracks all over the place, and not a sign of the bull. WTF? Are they stoooopid?

4. "It'll be different this time"
"I can change him".
"Then everything will be fine".

From at least three different women who are old enough to know better. Sigh. :banghead:

6. We all have to learn that one the hard way
then every now and then we forget what we've learned and try again. Even the smartest of us can become temporarily stupid.

I'd like to say I learned it for the last time with my last ex... but who knows what the future may hold? :P
