Stupidity Tax

Over the weekend, I overheard a guy ask a grocery store employee if she “was working hard or hardly working.”  This got me to thinking.  Why not implement a Stupidity Tax and fine people $10 for saying something stupid? 

The guy in the grocery store should have been fined $10. 

Here are other examples that would constitute the $10 Stupidity Tax:

*  Did you get a hair cut?  No, I got them all cut. – Cha Ching-$10.

*  Is today the 25th?  All day long.  Cha Ching-$10.

*  Anyone who says, “you know what I’m saying” at the end of a sentence.  Cha Ching-$10.  Most rappers would be broke within a year if this is enforced.

*  The Mother of all stupid quotes occurs in late December.  It will usually come from a co-worker as they leave the office for their Christmas Vacation; “See you next year.”  Cha Ching-$10.

Obviously, there are more stupid quotes that would be taxable, but this is a starting point.

On the topic of stupidity tax, a Powerball ticket worth $200M was sold at a Kum & Go in Fort Dodge, IA.

Kum & Go?  That was my nickname in college.
