If someone calls me a half-wit...

Is that enough?

Or do I need to go looking for the other half?

I mean, half a wit is better than none, right?

Are 2 half-wits better than 1?

I can't figure this out 'cause I don't have a calculator.

2 half wits can argue with two whole wits more effectively than 1 whole wit can argue with 2 half wits.

I think I'd need a calculator to go further than that.

Well, I'm not going to argue with you on that.

Congratulations on your promotion!  As a half-wit, you are, be definition, far more intelligent than 98% of the drivers currently on the road.  With your vast intellect, you are also now overqualified to hold public office.  That's got to make you feel pretty good. 

You are 18,000% smarter than anyone who has ever been featured on a Reality TV show.  You're at least 39,000,000% smarter than anyone ever shown shirtless on an episode of Cops.  You're easily more than 12,000,001% more intelligent than anyone who's ever tested a taser on themselves.  In addition, you must be at least 20% - 40% smarter than the average bear.

Congrats!

Thanks... I don't think I have bapu on board yet... he's still talking about eating too much ice cream or something.

We're just not ready yet.

A man with no shoes may think he's got it pretty bad until he sees another man with no feet.

Half a wit is still better than no wit at all.

Unfortunately, the Dunning-Kruger effect (also knows as the Rimmer Effect) prevents nitwits from self-realizing their own wit paucity. The same principle also applies to half-wits, who often mistakenly assume that they are actually full-wits, which is why we full-wits have an obligation to point out their deficiencies to them at every opportunity.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Whenever someone asks me if I'm an idiot (frequent occurance), I respond by saying:

"If I was, would I posess the requisite comprehension, self-awareness and perceptivity essential to determining this fact?"

To wit they must have no reply?

That's good. I'll have to write that one on the back of my hand so that I can use it myself.

If you can't figure out how to write it on your hand, chances are you don't need to bother...
