Dumbass Sayings: “The Biggest Idiot Can Ask Questions The Smartest Man Cannot Answer”

There’s a quote floating around out there that goes “The biggest idiot can ask questions the smartest man cannot answer.” This is an alternate version of the quote “The greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.” I’m not really sure what this is trying to say. Is it defending stupidity? I don’t see why that should ever be done. Of course this saying is true, but it’s so true it’s just dumb. Yes, the biggest idiot in the world could ask the smartest man “Where are my underpants right now?” and the smartest man would have no idea they were in the idiot’s toilet. What is that supposed to mean? Nothing. This saying means absolutely nothing. The smartest man can ask far more questions that the biggest idiot can’t answer so if this is about a battle between smart and stupid, smart wins outright every time. Intelligence can be overrated and smart people can’t explain everything, but that doesn’t mean stupidity is the answer. Asking questions is not always the mark of an intelligent person, it depends on the questions, and the questions a fool asks are generally not even worth answering to begin with.

Hey da Vinci, if you're so smart where did all my string cheese go? You're right I did eat it. Wow you're good.

Dumbass Sayings: “There’s No I in Team”

There is an "I" in "Log carrying."

There may not be an “I” in the word “team” but what significance does that really hold? Does this mean you can only be selfish when you’re participating in something that has a letter “I” in it? If that’s the case then there is an “I” in “Intercourse” I should just “masturbate” instead, but there’s no I in that! There’s no “I” in team, but there is “Meat”. Does that mean I should show up to the basketball court with a satchel full of raw veal shanks? No, that’s insane.

I buy presents for myself on other people’s birthdays because there’s an “I” in “Gift”, but there’s no “U”. See what happens when you keep following this rule of initials holding meaning in a word? It stops making sense REAL FAST. There’s no “I” in “Eye”, but there is a “Y”, as in, why do people talk like this?

Dumbass Sayings: “Believe You Me”

Believe you me,
this dunce hat is coming dangerously
close to being a KKK hood.

This phrase was said to have originated in Shakespeare but it sounds more like something a caveman would say. “Believe you me” basically means “Believe me” but the word “you” is put in there unnecessarily for emphasis. For some reason this is the only phrase where doing that is acceptable. If you’re in trouble and you say “Help You Me!” instead of “Help me”, that won’t work. People will just look at you all confused and walk away. Saying “Help you me” would make absolutely no sense so why does saying “Believe you me” instead of “Believe me” make sense? And if you really want someone to believe you, talking like a caveman is counterintuitive. No one wants to listen to a neanderthal. There’s rarely a benefit to taking the word of someone who sounds like they have brain damage.
