Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Proudly exclaiming the benefits

Apposing thumbs and a superior intellect
we as human beings are in possession of

Isn't it then amazing and inconceivable

How amazingly stupid and gullible
we are

Like for instance paying out hard earned
money over in order to purchase a book

Shamelessly entitled

How to Win the Lottery

By someone who has no quams admitting

HAVE NEVER IN FACT ACTUALLY EVEN
WON THE LOTTERY THEMSELVES

Or come close or have any evidence or
basis to back this theory up

And not only buy it in the 1st place but
read it and buy into it as well

I often wonder if our family pets must 
sometimes look at us and think

Seriously

Who on earth though it was a good
idea to leave you in charge

And are you taking me out for a walk
or am I just indulging you

Maybe that's why I take the lead

Because your not obviously capable of being
left to your own devices

Without guidance

There are two ways to win the lottery Christopher now listen up, No 1 go out and buy tickets with every possible combination of numbers between 1 and 50, which will cost you probably 10 times more than the jackpot is worth, or No 2 erm no sorry No 1 is the only way, cheers David
