| I had a terrifying realisation, earlier. A good way to approach resolution of many of the most annoying problems in modern society is to ask yourself "what would a stupid person do?" This seemingly counterproductive question arises from the more reasonable question "how the hell do stupid people get by?" The answer to both questions, of course, is "get someone else to do it," and this, I'm afraid, is the only reasonable answer to dealing with insane bureaucracies.

| Winston Groom's 'Forrest Gump' (as opposed to Tom Hanks' touchy feely sex romp) basically says that the best way to get along in modern society is to be mentally retarded. It's a really great book, all should read it. All should also read the sequel 'Gump & Co' which came out after the movie with the line 'Whatever you do, don't let nobody make a movie of your life.' It has a great scene in which Forrest meets Mr Hanks. Tom says 'Well, my mama always said life was like a box of chocolates.' In response to which Forrest thinks to himself 'I may be a retard, but I ain't fucking dumb.' |
