Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for August 17, 2023

it’s the latter.

People never run out of stupid things to do.

If I do this, will it hurt? If Yes, give me another beer, and I’ll film it for funniest home videos

We just do less things.

We move slower so we can’t get as many stupid things accomplished.

Mature wisdom strongly resembles being too tired.

I can still think of plenty of stupid things to do. But I don’t do them as much as I used to so I guess I’ve gotten some wisdom.

This reminds me of the final panel of a recent Calvin and Hobbes Sunday reprint:-

Calvin: They say summer days are longer but they seem short to me.

Hobbes: I’ll say. We didn’t do half the things on our itinerary.

You can run out of stupid things to do? !!!!

I don’t know if its wisdom to realize some things aren’t worth the effort

Age creates a new perspective .

I never commit the same mistake twice. I don’t have time; I’m too busy committing new mistakes.

Realizing those things were stupid so you don’t repeat them is the definition of getting wiser. I did some stuff (that will not get mentioned for fear of inspiring others) until it almost killed me then I stopped. Though now I realize I could have just started wearing a helmet. See, wiser.

I believe that wisdom does indeed come with age. Trouble is, so does memory loss.

Strawberry color hair on old fat ladies? Nothing wise about that Aunty. Keep up the stupid.

A little of both, I think.

A good dose of both for some of us adrenaline junkies :D Of course, there is also the onset of physical limitations in older life from living thru the ill-perceived physical UN-limtiations of some of us adrenaline Lifers…

I worked in a large RR switch yard, when I came in one morning they told me I should have a great day because they used up all the stupid last night

It’s like having too much fun…there’s no such thing!!

Get back to us on that idea Aunty when you run out of stupid things to do.

After a while you get a bit snake bit.

I, myself, have NEVER run out of stupid things to do.

Humans are ingenious. We’ll always come up with more stupid things to do.

I think once we do enough stupid things, the concept of “stupid things” changes to “normal things,” even if in the past they really were pretty stupid.

When I run out of stupid things to do, it will be because the last one killed me.

Run out of the ABILITY to do the stupid things! LOL:)

I think we forget how to be stupid.

“Stupid is as stupid does”

Living in Mexico, I have the opportunity to do stupid things in two languages!

No, you SURVIVED the stupid things you did and gained the wisdom ‘do not do that’.

We’ve ‘Been there, done that.’

I do stupid things. Learn from them, than I do new stupid things.

“Been There, Done That” does seem to come up more often lately.
