An American Education

So…there's this doctor on CNN. He was there to advise on how they should respond to the covid crisis.

Seems like a smart guy. Smarter than me, obviously. Perhaps I could get a Doctorate in Zythology (the study of beer), but even that's iffy. There'd be a lot of beer pressure to drink…beer.

This doctor is in his 70s, I would guess. When asked what he thought of the government's response to covid, he said, "Well, it reminds me of the three Ds. Distressing, depressing, and as we like to say in my family, D-U-M, DUM."

Now, I'm no Road's Scholar, as I've said. Not even a beaten-up-path Scholar or a back-alleyway-where-hookers-hang-out scholar.

But I'm smart enough to see dumb. 

Maybe he was thinking of "dum" or "dumdum" bullets. Those are bullets that explode on impact.

Now that's something every American can spell.
