John James wrote yesterday about how he was dumb.

If you haven’t read yesterday’s Happen, you should. It’s enlightening.

And JJ is right. He is dumb. Good person. Dumb person.

These things happen.

Unfortunately, there’s more dumb where that came from.

JJ is not as dumb as his DW brother, no matter how much he wishes he were. I retired the dumb trophy.

Once I once took a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night. Don’t do that. That defines “dumb.”

I am not a smart person.

My oldest and only son once told me there was an arrow in the FedEx logo. I looked and looked. And looked.

Didn’t find it.

Even after he told me where to look, between the “E” and the “X,” I was left on the outside looking in.

It’s a natural arrow.

Saw it after about 10 minutes. Was so proud.

On sports talk radio, we once heard a guy say, in agreement with a point, “I occur.” He meant “I concur,” which is “I agree,” so he was hilariously wrong. And dumb.

But if I could find that guy, I would give him money from my wallet. I have said “I occur” hundreds of times since, maybe thousands, and it never gets old. Most of our Sunday school class is now saying “I occur” in their daily lives, which is not the purpose of Sunday school, I occur, but still, it’s funny, Heaven help us all, and Lord knows we could use the laughter.

And a little more smarts.
