reminds me of the joke about johnny being 6 foot tall and in the 3 grade. The other kids made fun of him and he wanted to know if it was because he was 6 foot tall and his mama says the other kids are making fun of him because he is 18 years old and still in the 3 grade. I think this is the result the goverment here is looking for. dumb and dumber
