Ever have someone you thought was reasonably intelligent say something so incredibly dumb that you honestly couldn't form a response?
Apparently, I don't get out enough.
Was making observation on human relationships based on book I had recently read (The Natural History of Monogamy, Marriage, and Divorce--by some author whose name I cannot recall but I loooved the chapters on Courtship rituals...hilarious and embarrassing), just commenting on something that had interested me...I believe it was the statistic about most monogamous chimp relationships lasting about 4 years...
Anyway, I barely got half the sentence out and suddenlybitch this woman shrieks at me, "WE DIDN'T COME FROM MONKEYS!"
*blink* *blink blink*
I think my mouth was open. I think a fly might have landed on my tongue. I can't be sure.
So then I hear myself continuing on, reasonably, "Well she talks about other animals too, like foxes..."
"WE DIDN'T COME FROM ANIMALS!" I think she was about to cry.
Look I'm not saying I believe in Evolution and I'm not saying the Bible is a stupid piece of oppresive crap waste of time. I'm just saying, anyone who doesn't believe in evolution just has to watch two men encountering each other for the first time.
GIANT. FREAKING. MONKEYS.
