Genius In Disguise

Today I had a client forget her name and yes, this would be the same client who decided to pop four (!!) Valium in our lobby and then drive herself home.

Pam* was unsure if her name was Pam or Patty but she was pretty sure it wasn't Susan. While I wish I was kidding, you just can't make this shit up, folks. Maybe it was all that Valium or could it be she's had one too many laser zaps to the head? Either way, girlfriend needs to get a clue.

I think there should be some law of physics that once a certain amount of stupidity clusters in one general area, spontaneous combustion occurs. Shit, my hometown would be wiped clean off the map and I'm not sure too many people would mind.

As a good friend would say: They're only alive because it is illegal to kill them.

"What day is today?"

"Tuesday, the 25th."

"I mean the whole thing... what month is it?"

"Um, October."

"Is it still 2005?"

"Yes, sir, it is October 25th, 2005."

"Month ten?"

"Are you being serious or just yanking my chain?"

"People like me aren't concerned with dates so we lose track of time easily."

"People like who?"

"Computer programmers."

"Really, I never would have guessed. Kind of explains Y2K, huh?"
