Stupidity Never Ceases to Amaze Me

I have seen a lot of stupidity during my life time and some of it was me.  But just the other day I was thinking about a buddy of mine (no, he wasn't the stupid one) who fabricated a huge front bumper for his truck, the main part was 4" pipe with 45 degree and end caps on both ends.  He decided that it would be a great reservoir for compressed air for emergency use to pump up tires or run air tools.  Therefore, he made sure that the welds were air tight and he put in an air fitting so he could fill it with air.  He also had another tap for an air gauge

Well, one day we were on the way to his hunting lease and he stopped to get gas and while there, he decided to pump air into his bumper.  This fellow walked up looking puzzled.  The guy asked him what the heck he was doing.  And my buddy told him that he was filling his front bumper with air and that he usually put in about a hundred and fifty pounds of air.  The fellow looked more amazed and asked him, "Doesn't that much air weigh down the front of the truck?".  My friend held back his laugh until later and told him that it did but he put extra heavy springs and shocks on the truck.  That guy accepted that answer.  Apparently he must have never heard of pounds of pressure.

Now, for some reason, I just thought of an old joke.  It seems that a couple of fellows were discussing the best and worst ways of dying.  One of them said that he wants to pass away in his sleep like his uncle did, not kicking and screaming like the passengers in the car his uncle was driving.  OK, don't laugh, it wasn't that funny, but I liked it and got a good chuckle out of it.  Now stay awake while driving and have a great day, you hear?
