Because you want everybody to be dumbstruck by you.

Because you’re tired of being a smart alec.

Because dumb is beautiful. Ask any blonde.

Because even dumb persons can appear wise as long as they don’t open their mouths.

Because then you’ll never get the blame when anything around you goes wrong .

Because your boss will not expect you to come up with bright ideas at Monday morning meetings.

Because this way you can get away with soft assignments while the smart ones struggle with the tough tasks.

Because then your wife won’t expect you to stretch yourself to breaking point to get ahead in life. She’ll resign herself to her fate of having married a buddhu.

Because you’d rather identify with the majority of the population than be in a minority.

Because your in-laws won’t have any high expectations from you.

Because this way you may actually stand out amidst the so many wannabe bright ones.

Because by being hopelessly dumb, you can leave others dumbfounded.
