Moron Alert

If it looks like a man and acts like a man, a man it should be. Not you? Not me? 

If it sings like a black bird and it looks like a black bird I guess it’s a black bird to me.

If it sounds like bee and it stings like a bee then surely a bee is what it’d be.

My wife said something to me:

“What’s standing in front of me?”
“I’ll give a clue because that gormless expression is too pitiful to see”
“If it looks like an idiot and it sounds like an idiot, to what do you think I refer to, what is it I see?
I shrugged my shoulders and said quietly:
Me?
