| You can get all 5 stupidity napkins on Coffee Cups and you should! |
When you think about it, well-mannered stupid people do tend to make it to the top and rule the world. But I plan a coup soon of well-mannered smart people and will need your help! Are you with me?

Welcome to Stupidity, my first series of 2011! In honor of all you returning to work after the holidays, I thought you might need some classic quote therapy to help you navigate among your co-workers.
Over the holidays our extended family took a long walk along the Arkansas River. We took our 2 dogs with us. We passed a jungle gym play area with a curvy slide and I thought it would be fun to slide wiggle dog down it. I attempted said maneuver but wiggle dog wasn’t happy with this idea and instead of going down the curvy slide, jumped over the edge of it down to the sand below. Wiggle dog got up, favoring one paw. I was worried she had broken something. But she was alright.
My wife and daughter (and others) saw stupidity in action. They weren’t happy to see it. I apologized to wiggle dog. I apologized to my wife and daughter. I went over to the men in the group and said ‘men sometimes do stupid things’. They all nodded.
Moral of the story, don’t do stupid things, especially to someone else!

What better topic than reason for me to draw a napkin that makes no sense!
Quote by Voltaire, French guy
Because some blogs and feed readers do not link back to my blog and do not tell the drawings are by me I will be putting the obvious on my napkins from now on.

We are moving from Disease Week’ to
‘Aging Week’! Being around my father this week (he broke his hip and I have been helping to care for him) has made me think a lot about aging, growing old, not growing old, etc.
I think this quote is true, that virtue is sometimes (not always) a function of no energy or drive to do the unvirtuous thing. Not nearly as noble, but in reality I think laziness is as much a reason for virtue to increase and ‘sin’ to decrease as most other reasons I have heard over the years.
