Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m stupid.

Timely dialogs often start with stupid comments. That doesn’t make the comments any less stupid.

 

That would be like crediting a fire for being hot

 

Case in point: CNN story on Justine Sacco’s epic fail >

You ever hear a manager say “Yeah, he says stupid things like that all the time, but that’s why we hired him, gets the rest of us talking”?

I’m often inclined to be critical before I’m complimentary. I don’t know why. It’s a hard habit to break, but the conscious struggle has some value of its own. On the other hand, if I’m impressed, I tend to forgive even gratuitous ineptitude.

I trust my gut when I sense something amiss and later verify my suspicions. I am not often wrong.
