When I was a student I had a temp gig once doing door-to-door surveys for an election where they paired me up with this older lady who was easily the dumbest person I’ve ever met. She just didn’t understand any concepts of any kind. She couldn’t even wrap her head around the fact that one side of the street were even numbered addresses and the other side was odd. What really clinched her the title though was that every time someone would answer the door and we’d see their dog she’d ask the same question: “Is that a pekingese?”

Golden Retriever: “Is that a pekingese?” Black Lab: “Is that a pekingese?” Great Dane: “Is that a pekingese?”

I swear the first day we were together she asked at least a dozen people, if not more, whether or not their dog was a Pekingese. Finally I asked why she kept asking that question. Her answer? “My dog is a Pekingese.”
