DULL vs DUMB?

said aukei:

Thanks DS for confirming my suspicion all along.

I am not exactly sure how or what am I going to use this knowledge for. I am perfectly aware that increase knowledge can never destroy us. Using that knowledge for stupid reasons can. In spite of what human know we can still really dumb.

Years ago my friends and I went to a bar in way Northern Connecticut (hint, hint MA).

It was “trivia night”, we divide up into teams and the bartender read off a bunch of questions from trivia book yang di tulis oleh “Mr. Bing” dan kami tulis jawaban kami di atas sekeping kertas selepas “team meeting” and they would announced our answers publicly when asked and show the MC our paper.

What this ended up being was not a night of heated Trivia Competition but rather a night where the whole bar listened to me giving correct answers on everything.

They would always asked me “how do you know this stuff” and I’d tell them honestly “I read it somewhere” the point is that I choose to read and they did not ( I have no idea why the Trivia Game was popular there).

I was driving, memandangkan I was the only one who’s sober, (sebab tu boleh jawap semua soklan kot?) so on my way out I realized that I had locked my keys in the car.

Pretty stupid.

Got so angry with myself and yanked on the door a few times while yelling and drawing attention to myself.

The door suddenly opened and dummmn, it hit me square in the balls and I crumpled infront of everyone whimpering.

So, there I was….. the smartest guy ever in Trivia Night at the Evergreen Tavern (another hint MA) rolling around due to self administered nut shot.

My life of reading did not stop me from being a total idiot in real life.

So there my conclusion…. of this knowledge seeking thing:
restricting or indulging knowledge does not matter, it is the application.

Don’t know why I disclosed my idiotic past. Must be the sleep deprivation Ibrahim put me through.
