Okay, story time. I'm sorry, you guys just remind me of my stupid stories. I worked for doctors back in the day as a medical transcriptionist and we had a practice at the time of 7 guys. Well seeing as how our care was free, and you could see them at the drop of the hat, if you weren't feeling well, you could see one of them. I was feeling particularly icky one day, head and sinus and all that cold stuff and went to one of them. He was holding a light to my one ear and told me to put my hand over the other ear so the light wouldn't escape.

I did it.

And then felt like an idiot. I wasn't on top of my game, dammit. I was sick and I just did what he said. I think that's caused a lot of problems in history, and could have been the downfall of our clinic!

My proctologist told me to close my mouth for the same reason.

Here, there and everywhere.
Let me begin my stoopid story by telling you that my husband has a prosthetic leg. It's very realistic-looking, and so is the foot, but if he's wearing shorts and someone is very observant, they can tell it's a prosthesis. A girl I worked with (a Ph.D.!!) was looking at a picture someone took of us at the beach. My husband was wearing swim trunks and Teva sandals, so his leg and foot were visible. I saw the girl looking very puzzled, so I told her, "He has a prosthetic limb." She looked at it for a few seconds and asked, "But they were able to save his foot?"

The first sentence should say, I've got to stop "asking," being that it's a question, not a declaration. An observation on my part, not a judgement really.
When you present a judgement, especially of other people's intelligence, you really should do it in a grammatically correct manner. Incorrect grammar and usage tends to decrease the credibility of the statement you are trying to make.
The amount of time I have spent thinking about this is stupid.
The fact that I've edited this post about 5 and counting times is also stupid. But I'm having fun.
