Feeling down on your mental prowess ? Wishing that your parents were smarter and had divulged some of that intelligence into your gene pool ? Does it always seem as though the other people in your life are quicker on the mental ball ?
Well fear not. There is hope for us all.
Go to any airport terminal and check in for a flight. In my case T3 at Heathrow. During the processing of your departure you will suddenly find yourself King / Queen of the intellectual pool and Stephen Hawkins will seem like a dwarf on the brain scale in comparison to the pride you will feel concerning your own mental ability.
Seriously, where did the great man above get these people ?
Who thinks's its OK to check in a bag weighing 4 tonnes and not get charged for it ? Come to think of it who sells those bags in the first place ? Who think's that despite several signs stating its "Bag drop off only'' that it's OK then to try and check in themselves and 14 children ? Get an effing computer and do it online like it says !! If the sign says ''no liquids allowed'' since when does a litre bottle of Highlands Spring mineral water not qualify as ''liquid''. A sign saying ''shoes off'' has always meant to me '' take your shoes off''. Similar and quite obvious to me is the sign stating '' laptops out of their case''. Sweet geesus ! Oh my Lordy how dumb can some people be. Very dumb is the obvious answer. I love it then too when people get all stroppy when they are asked to do any of the above. As though they have been accorded some privilege in life that nullifies any request by the authorities to do what every other person has been asked to do.
You can see why then as I walk into the departure hall I feel an automatic qualification for membership to Mensa should be winging its way to mailbox, and we haven't even boarded the flight yet.
The flight...ahhhh 9 hours to Miami. Now that should be fun.
Or b.
