Dawn: I always keep spare needles handy. Let me know and I will overnight them to you along with proper instructions. Julianne: In the eight years or so that I lived next door to Gertie convinced me that she was just plain stupid! Elaine: I almost thought that I imagined the horse. But the picture says it all. Jayne:
You are right on!

Your husband and mine have some things in common...the cars, clean, waxed and dent free. And now I can add depositing dog poo to it's rightful owner :-) Poor Gertie, really forgot her horse? Too many brain cells burned out. Oh Keli,

That might be the most logical scientific explanation for her stupidity. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read the part about your husband reciprocating the pug's lawn littering.

I think I may have to do some scientific research on my neighbor. My house is at the bottom of a hill... his at the top. He can see EVERYTHING for miles... I don't stand a chance... he is the stuper on the hill with the all seeing eye and a scanner for listening in on my phone calls! Do you know where I can get 76 acupuncture needles???

We get this idea (probably from watching Friends and Grey's Anatomy) that real people are smart and sexy and if slightly kooky, it's just part of their charm. Truth is, most people are seriously gooberish, and those people on TV are aliens.

It's a rather large, long-legged pig with a frayed tail. Any stuper knows that! Keli - that’s not a horse. It’s a rather large, long-legged pig with a frayed tail. Any stuper knows that!

Agnes: I don't think there's a person around without that same neighborhood mutt and biddie of an owner. Ah, the things we do for old time's sake! M.C.: Did I not say that? And yes - the quotes in my post are actually from the book - it does cover acupuncture as a possible cure for stupidity. Roger:

Boy was I surprised to find there was such a thing by the author you named! Is stupidity really covered in there? Amazing! I didn’t believe that a compendium of acupuncture really existed.

Old biddies and their pets. They are a minefield of stuper activity. A former neighbour of ours kept a dog who continually relieved itself on our front lawn. The dog's name was Muffin, and it was a vicious little sod just like its owner. She refused to believe that Muffin was crapping on our lawn and determined it was foxes. No amount of arguing would convince her. So when I informed her that, if it was foxes, I would put out traps and poison, Muffin rapidly stopped coming over the fence. I was informed that, when Muffin snuffs it, there will be a large bed of daffodils planted in their front garden in her memory. Next spring, I may take a drive up to Yorkshire to see if there are any daffs in bloom at no. 2. If there are, I may take a crap on them, just for old time's sake... Oh Keli, this made me chuckle!
