And the stupidest thing that anyone's ever said to me happened last week. On the EVE of the U.S. election, I was on the phone to someone (Madformac you know him - he almost killed you trying to climb over your head to get Lindsey's signature) who never fails to surprise me with just how much he can stretch the limits of the word "CLUELESS":
I was just trying to make small talk and I said "Do you think John Kerry will win it?"
To which he replied: "Who?"
I assumed he didn't hear me clearly so I said: "John Kerry."
He replied: "Oh....yea................Sorry........who...??"
I replied: "John Kerry..?? You know the presidential candidate for the Democrats??"
He replied: "Ooooh! Right......yea sorry!"
So I repeated: "So do you think he'll win?"
He said: "Win what??"
(This conversation took place last Tuesday night.)
