I met stupid

I have read about them on the internet and have seen their videos on youtube but seldom do I meet someone I would call stupid. I like to say they are misinformed. On a recent business trip to Cleveland I was walking to the convention center when I heard a couple argueing. As they got closer the woman asked me to come over and help resolve the comflict. I asked what was wrong and she said will you please tell him (boyfriend I assume) that the White House is not in Pennsylvania. I said that it was not and she laughed and gave me a high five. Undeterred the gentleman asked where it was. I said Washington DC. to which he replied "which is in Pennsylvania". I said no that the land originally belonged to Maryland but the mailing address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He said that was where he got confused. They walked off before I could ask---did you vote?
Damn. That's twice now. Ok, this says it all....lol
I think the concept of him voting is really frightening.
Our five-year-old asked us some question we didn't know and he said, "get out your phone". You'd have to be really stupid to resort to asking a random stranger.
My wife and I watched the movie the Imposter last night, which I think is supposed to be a true documentary about a teenage boy who disappeared and someone claiming to be him turned up in southern Spain. His sister from Texas said, "Spain, isn't that like way across the country or something?"
Trim your Christmas tree with that.
I did marry the smartest one of the family BTW, an act that my wife thanks me for each time we visit down there.
