Have you ever had someone say to you: “If you had any brains… you’d be dangerous?” Yeah me too! Thousands of times!
This often happens to me when I purposely cause a distraction to a rather boring conversation. I would usually do this by crossing my eyes or putting my finger up my nose, something... anything to get this person to stop talking!
Or when after listening for over an hour of boring instructions on how to do something that I really don’t want to do anyway, I do it all wrong!
This used to happen whenever I was starting a new job which I didn’t want to take, that I wasn’t suited for, but had to take so I could get a paycheck.
Yeah… you’ve been there!
Your brain isn’t even able to comprehend what this robot is trying to tell you, it’s thinking of finding a way to get the hell out of there and find something else!
But the last time I was told this by someone, I decided to descend to the deepest crevices of my cavernous mind to find the true meaning to this often bewildering verbiage attack.
I mean what are they implying? If I didn’t have a brain I wouldn’t be able to stand there let alone listen to them flapping their lips! They’re not fooling me you need a brain to make both of those functions work!
So what is it that they are trying to say?
Perhaps they’re implying that I don’t have a mind, but then again it should be obvious that I do or I wouldn’t be able to think of all the ways I can get them to shut up! [/ezcol_1half] It takes a mind to do that!
No my friends… they are not implying that we don’t have a mass of grey matter floating about in our cranial cavities, they are, however, implying that this grey matter must be malfunctioning!
And they would be correct since they in fact caused the malfunction with their boring conversations or unwanted instructions to begin with!
What it really is, I think, is a direct reaction to their inability to carry on a conversation with, or give intelligent instructions to, someone that has a superior mind!
Their frustration takes over and they just blurt out this purposely vulgar attack on your superior intellect to compensate for, and draw your attention away from, their inability to keep control of the conversation, thus control over you!
Sure it would be nicer for them to say, ”Your grey matter must be malfunctioning!”, but then you’d lose out on all intellectual benefits they’ve just handed to you!
Hmm… “Snarp are you saying this really isn’t an insult?”
BINGO!! You got it! They’ve just complemented your superior intellect, you should immediately thank them and say, “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!”, thus throwing them into an intellectual tailspin!
