Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are stupider than that. The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept. Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.
