Who was the dumbest person you ever met? How did you know?

I had to do a cross-country bus ride (about 30 hours) with a marine in my unit. I outranked him, so I was accountable for him, and had to do shit like “remind him to brush his teeth.”

The reason I remember that he forgot to brush his teeth is this: the bus made a stop at a highway gas station late at night, and Pvt Schmuckatelli needed to buy toothpaste. I figured he’d be able to handle it, and I was tired, so when he asked me “which one should I get,” I got pissed and snapped “I don’t give a fuck, just pick one,” and walked away.

Next morning. We stop again, and we’re brushing our teeth in a different rest stop. He takes a few brushes and gets this weird look on his face. I stop brushing and look at him. He looks down at the toothpaste he picked out, spits, and says “it’s denture glue.”

That was the dumbest person I’ve ever met.
