What is Common Sense ? - What is an Idiot Alert ?

2017年8月21日 | 1 コメント

Common sense, also referred to as "horse sense",  is the unique ability that horses possess, which prevents them from betting on people.

An Idiot Alert is  when a group of people claim they can intercept at will, something traveling at 20,000 km per hour (the speed of an intercontinental ballistic missile) while they have not yet mastered the basic skill of avoiding very large objects (think container ship or oil tanker) traveling at 20 km per hour.

I would borrow a little horse sense and refrain from betting on that group of people.

Contact me and I will be happy to explain the English used here, the irony, the sarcasm, and the utter incompetence of large institutions that deploy a "don't think, just do as you are told" policy.
