"I Wonder What Hot and Spicy Chicken Tastes Like...?"

Apparently a dumb question warrants an even dumber response.

"I don't know, I've never had it before."

(Eli Porter stare)

If only the Chinese man behind the counter understood the ignorance that took place right before his very eyes. This exchange took place between two female students (Blonde? Check.) attending one of the top colleges in the United States of America. If seen, they should be quickly snuffed with a chloroform rag and removed from society for a reward of a high five and a feeling of mental security. People like that are the dementors of mental function; they suck the IQ points from the rest of the well-adjusted population that aced Common Sense in kindergarten.

Many a rant has been made about how these people will one day run our society. Not here. Honestly, its not worth worrying about. Generally, these people are the wealthy and privileged who have never had to work for a Tootsie Pop and don't know it. They will attain positions of power and you will probably see a dumb decision they make on the front page of the New York Times. This is inveitable.

However, the rules of science apply.

Let us examine those who are forced to carry out those decisions: The public transit operators, the garbage collectors, the social workers, the sergeants, the maids, the waiters and waitresses, the proletariat. They are burdened with the most difficult job of all: Accomplishing a task despite the ridiculousness imposed upon them by those who tell them to carry it out. Yes, there are smart administrators just as there are dumb operators, however, take a minute out of your day to watch the social workers that succeed in improving the lives of those oppressed by the system, or the sergeant who carries out an ill-advised order given to him by his commanding officer, motivating his men and getting them home alive. These are the people that counteract the stupidity of the ignorant, gold encrusted pacifier population, lessening the impact of their unintelligent decisions and keeping the majority of us safe.

Do not fear. Use common sense to diffuse the actions of the ill-adjusted, and trust that others will too. If the world was truly run by idiots, cockroaches would rule the planet.

However, just in case, keep a chloroform rag handy.

Twitter/Relaunch...

We would like to thank all of those who have read our blog in the past, and welcome all new readers to the ranks of the Huck and Jim faithful.

After a considerable sojourn we have decided to a "relaunch" of sorts. There won't be any drastic changes, however we will be approaching our writing with a renewed vigor and commitment to the blog. We think it safe to say that our approach will be different than our more recent posts, with an eclectic array of subject matter including (but, of course, never limited to) wit, prose, dissertation, observance and thought.

With this slight change in tact we strive to more closely reflect the original idea and concept that led to the creation of this blog in the first place.

As part of this resurgence we are proud to announce that Huck and Jim has joined twitter... you can find us at twitter.com/huckandjim... help us by following!
