Get Out of my Head

A Real Conversation had by Real People:

Significant Characters:
-Me
-Cute Nerd Boy (CNB)
-Girl That Doesn't Understand When People Are Joking (DUH)

Setting: Five strange souls are walking through the bitter cold in the middle of nowhere, some time around 2 a.m., with a purpose and yet not purposefully. Two deer are spotted ahead. The deer are commented on.

...
Me: Can you ride a deer? (This is funny for other unmentioned reasons)
CNB: Do you have a saddle with you?
Me: Not on me. Damn!
DUH: You could ride it bare-back.
Me: It's not a bear. It's a deer, silly!
DUH: No, I mean like you ride a horse bare-back. B-A-R-E. Not B-E-A-R.
Me: ...yeah, I know... I was joking...
All: ...(silence)...

What bothers me the most is that she thought that I was the stupid one. However, I was not.

  • Found myself oddly amused. Stupid people tend to not know they are stupid. When they misunderstand people they fault others, instead of considering the fact that they are the only one not in on the joke.
