That's a Horatio of around 3:1

This part is true: I actually met Paul Newman, the actor, in the men's room of a nice restaurant.

I went back to the table and told the wives. They said 'In the men's room?" and asked about it. I said he was at the urinal. And that he was surprisingly short.



Anyway, he was actually a classy guy. The ladies rushed outside to meet him, and he was very gracious, and introduced them to his wife, Joanne Woodward.

You do know that it is bad form to do anything but look straight ahead when pointing Percy at the porcelain? Unless of course you are aiming for the little spider or aeroplane.
One wonders who gets the job of sticking them on...

El P, that was a joke about his height but you can take it anyway you want. But he was 5' 10" so Bull must be pretty tall. Or curious.

Well I'm 6'2" but that was supposed to be a double in-your-end-o (Spell-check, please), referring to his wedding tackle.

Another part of the story that I thought was funny was that the sous-chef, whom we knew, was at our table at the time. She strongly cautioned the ladies not to bother the named diner, who was outside, waiting for a cab. Immediately my wife said "Come on y'all!" and they all took off like a shot...

STUPIDITY GRAPHED:


The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity

In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.

Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. There are no defenses against stupidity, argued the Italian-born professor, who died in 2000. The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.

Let’s take a look at Cipolla’s five basic laws of human stupidity:
