The world is full of morons. God loves them, Mom said. He must, she figured, He made so many. What’s remarkable is the number of people who have no idea they’re morons. So, taking a cue from Jeff Foxworthy, here are a few simple ways to tell if you are a moron.

If you leave gasoline and matches just laying around the house, odds are, you’re a moron.
If you stand on a metal ladder in a thunderstorm and clean gutters, odds are, you’re a moron.
If you mix common household chemicals together, “just to see what happens”, you are probably a moron.

All Best

Often, we learn as we grow, to weigh the short-term consequences against the long term consequences, and that is the reason we often do things that “seem like a good idea at the time”. We do things because they give us instant gratification, or we think we’ll get instant gratification.
