To repeat an often used phrase these days, “You can’t fix stupid.”
Not sure I ever told you this, but the first time I heard the phrase “you can’t fix stupid,” was in January 1997 when the professor strode into our first graduate class at the University of Alabama. He was about 30 minutes late and told us it was because he had eaten some bad Chinese food the night before. Yeah. Right. Anyway, he was the one who said in class, on that first day “You can’t fix stupid.” Never forgot it, and use it regularly. Maybe you know this guy Bill?
My neighbors (I live in Florida) invited me to one of these parties, and I think they grew to regret it as I had a few too many whiskeys and started proselytizing on the evil of Trumpism, anti-vaccinations, and mask burning. I vaguely remember being angrily asked to leave, but was too drunk to remember if I did. I woke up in my own bed so that was a good sign at least.
I love this, in a sad sort of way.
