(Because Bush fell off his bike again)

...I suppose its not as far fetched as the thought of the head of the american government being too stupid to accomplish simple tasks like riding a bike or eating.

Funny, funny, really. Except that they aren't simple tasks. I can't ride a bike. Never learned how, don't intend to try. I routinely start to fall on flat ground. Stub my toe twice, three times a day, easy. Can't walk a straight line unless I think about it. Prefer to eat food that doesn't use utensils, spill a lot, and still have trouble with that whole "mouth closed" thing (but at least I can breathe now and my teeth don't get in the way....) I also drop things, often, because my hands forget that they're holding anything. I've hit myself with things I intended to toss at somebody else. And on and on and on.

These jokes long ago ceased to be funny. Yes, Bush is an idiot, but this doesn't prove it, and it's neither funny nor true to compare coordination to intelligence. I know it's not true, I'm certainly doing well enough in school this term (finally, got the As I always am capable of getting*), and as for funny, it's too stupid and old to be funny. So quit it.


*_{Last year sucked, I was barely able to make it out of bed, let alone get to class. If I had, though, I'd've gotten my standard A grades. Every class I've passed but Latin, all my college career, has been either an A or an A-}

It figures... my coordination, or lack thereof, is rather similar. I never learned to ride a bike, I can't walk in a straight line, and I still have trouble coordinating everything while eating as well (and still have to consciously concentrate on keeping my mouth closed while eating).
