I feel bad for people of below average intelligence. I really do. I sympathize with their plight and can see how even simple tasks may be complex to them. for these average members of american society, every day is an adventure into finding complex answers to simple tasks (through no fault of their own, of course).

I went down to Panera today. ok, I really more of “bebop’d” then simply “went”. when I go someplace, I make it count. anyways… I ordered some yummy although slightly overpriced food, and was given one of those little buzzing pager dealies that vibrates to let you know your sandwich is done. you know.. so the employees don’t have to. over at the “get your food here” counter, there was a stack of these things. when you slap it on top of the stack, it stops vibrating through the magic of technology. The kindly folks at Panera have put up a number of big signs with very large font to draw attention to the fact that they’d like you to put these pagers back on the stack, and not leave them vibrating loudly on the counter. I saw no less than 7 people just leave their pagers on the counter. vibrating loudly. right in front of one of the fricken signs. In humanity’s defense, 2 people stacked them properly. I swear I should have been born into another race. Something less entirely unobservant. Maybe a sponge. Or a sea cucumber.
