thoughts worth what you Paid
It's too late for me, but there might still be a chance for some of you. Stupid is what you do when you know you shouldn't, but do it anyway. We all know or will know someone who did something stupid and didn't get away with it. Pieces of their body don't function correctly, may be completely missing, or the ultimate stupid move, deceased! You see, STUPID hurts. Sometimes it hurts a little, a lot, a moment, or the rest of your existence. A majority of the time no penalty is incurred and therein lies the problem. We may get to thinking we're too clever or otherwise awesome to incur the wrath of stupid. We are not; we are lucky. Luck runs out, you may have heard, sometimes sooner rather than later. So when you have a thought pass through that grey matter between your ears that goes something like...........uh...this may be a bad idea, I could get maimed or worse. Listen to it and STOP doing what you're about to do. It won't mean you're weak, a sissy, or better than those that didn't get by with it. It will mean you will remain intact, wise beyond your years, and much more likely to continue aging; at least for the moment.
Still wondering what I must've done to inspire these words of wisdom. There have been more than one, and at least one of them could've cost myself and another our lives. Lucky is better than good I've heard. No, this was a small miscalculation that resulted in my pet German shepherd's upper left canine gouging and puncturing the back of my hand. Yep, I was right, I knew that could happen and I just proved it. There's not much smug satisfaction to be found in pain. Satisfaction may be enjoyed through watching those that didn't have the "thought" or more likely, just didn't listen to it. People prove they're stupid frequently. You don't have too be and let this remind you not to be.
