I'm Not as Think as You Dumb I Am!

While getting some work done on the Internet before shutting down for the night, a pop-up window appeared on my computer screen. It was titled "The Dumb Test" and it was obvious I was supposed to take it. Okay, I thought, I'll give it a try. So I started answering the questions. And they were good ones, too. Things like, "If there are five apples on a table and you take three of them, how many do you have?" (Correct answer: 3) All questions were legitimate, but the way they were worded made me stop and think before putting in the answer that automatically popped into my head.

After answering all 20 questions, I got a final screen that said, "Congratulations! Your Dumb Test Score is: ?????" Below that were several blank fields that I was required to fill in with my name, my email address, my street address, and my zip code. Well, yeah, people, of course I'm going to fill that out! I can't tell you how lonely it gets not getting spam e-mail and junk snail mail! I don't know if I can go on living.

I immediately closed the window and went on about my regularly-scheduled business.

I think I passed the Dumb Test. :)
