“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
The title of this post says ‘confounding all the laws of the intellect’, and I don’t think that is any exaggeration. These people take questions, often simple questions, run it through what passes for their mind and then out of their mouths come answers that are so far away from correct it is sometimes quite staggering.
Anyhow, enough from me.

Oh, I DO love that last one. And what the heck is Benidorm? Though you gotta remember, depending on your point of view, the Irish Sea IS on the east coast. Wrong RESORT, but c’est la vie!
Save the best to the last, eh. And I bet you knew the answer to the one before the last too!!!
Actually, I had to look it up. Benidorm is a resort town in Spain on the western edge of the Mediterranean. What the heck that has to do with ANYTHING, well….. 😀
Gotta wonder what triggers the mind of some of these … Scotland? Good one about Dallas.
I think Dallas is the winner of that lot, definitely a classic!
Where do they come up with these people?
Unfortunately they are everywhere 🙂
Love the Dallas stuff! i was watching November 22, 1963 and then later to see who shot J.R. So sad that reality and TV are blurred. Cheers!
They blamed Kristel I think her name was, but it was the man on the grassy knoll 😉
My eyes are bleeding, my brain is bleeding. Do they put up a sign “Stupid wins”?
Hmmmm, sounds serious. If you have enough Ramadan may I suggest that a quick trip to Scotland to see the Dalai Lama may help.
The ‘woman’ in blue, in the Dallas cast shot, that is CLEARLY an alien….
LOLOL yes I think you’re correct, what an awful photo!
They run it through “what passes as their mind.” Love that! So, so true. Sadly.
LOL Thanks.
