I heart stupidity. When you see it, post it here. I'll start.

Some of you know that I've do some teaching of first year sociology students in university. I really enjoy it, and love my students, but -GAWD- grading their work is a nightmare.

Through the course of a year, they have to write short essays on a range of topics ---feminism, Karl Marx, education, Freud, crime, etc. I feel kinda guilty laughing at these because of course they are writing under extreme pressure, but holy bobo I find them funny! Every so often, they write something so frickin' hysterical that it makes me gag laughing. These fleeting gems, I collect. Thought y'all might get a kick out of some of them.

Here we go. (nb, all typos and grammar boo boos are theirs from here on, not mine)

"Education is not really as old as many people think. It all came about in
the 1960s when the Russians were more advanced with outerspace."

"There is no evidence of women in society until the late 1990s"

"Freud is the classic theory of gender he believes the boy has the penis the girl has the clitoris simple as that"

"Freud said that a boy who plays too many dolls might be a p_ssy in later life"

"Feminists think women are the lowest of the low"

"Education is bias it only works for children who come from families where the parents are rich white and male"

"Hitlar believed in the destroying the Jews, however, his dictation only lasted until he was alive, after it was forgotten."

"Weber saw society from his eyes"

"someone from the low class is no good to us. we don't see them as nonsuccessful. That is because of sociology"

"Max Weber is a known and accredited sociologist"

"All around us in our society it is, said to be all around us these 'bureacracy' for example God is higher than Jeesus. The boss."

I remember telling a girl about my family. I mentioned that I had 2 nephews and had been an uncle for 7 years. "oh," she said, "So how old is the oldest?"

Brasco, that chick was probably just nervous due to your huge biceps and witty banter. You can hardly blame her.
I am indeed sorry for Biggie, crunch and any others less fortunate than myself, who do not have BevMo in their area. I'm gonna spill some brew for the homies that suffer without Beverages 'n' More.

Okay here's one. My sister and I go into the grocery store one day and we get this pie for dessert. We go up to the cashier (who was at least two year older than me and I'm 16) and he says, "Hey, did you get this pie from Burger King across the street?" All I could say to him was "Yea we stole it and decided to pay for it over here. NO we didn't get it from there!!!" My sister still laughs about it to this day.

I have a whole book of stupid things people put in essays, but I can't find it at the moment. So I'll just share one of the more memorable quotes.

"Rome is part of the STONED age."

I studied philosophy at university and had an exam question for an easy that was "How do you know this peice of paper exists". To this day I wish I'd been brave enough to write "It doesn't" and leave it at that. They would either have heralded me as a genius or plain stupid....

There was a story when I was at university that one philosophy exam just asked "Is this a question?", and one guy got a first by writing "If this is an answer".

Wish I could really believe that one!

Ah I knew I should have tired it out! A first! Still I'd probably be smart enough then to be something better paid than a Sleuth!
