I’ve met a lot of dumb women in my life. It seems like every day I tell myself someone has topped the dumbest people I have previously known. There’s nothing wrong with being so unbelievably stupid. I mean someone has to get trapped down a well so the news isn’t all about murders and waterskiing squirrels. Today I would like to tell you about the stupidest girl I have ever talked to.
We’ll call this girl Katie because Katie is an average dumb girl’s name and her real name was Katie. She was a few years younger than me, 4 to be exact. I was entering my senior year while Katie was an incoming freshman. Before you go thinking this is some creepy relationship we had I will let you know she was a friend of mine’s younger sister and all pictures I sent her of my genitals were from such a distance you couldn’t really see much anyway.
(Can we ever be certain this isn’t a picture of a naked pregnant woman or man with a pot belly?)
Katie was nervous about starting high school as most unbelievably stupid girls will be. Stupid girls may seem confident at times. I have come to learn they’re just too dumb to know how to express fear. I was already a high school veteran and seemed like a smart enough man so Katie turned to me for knowledge about the school. Seeing a chance to mess with someone’s head, I decided I could take things. The following are from what I can remember I convinced Katie were true things that went on in our high school. Note, she believed them all and asked her mom if she could go to a different school.
1) First I told Katie that the guidance counselors are no help because all they do is smoke pot and shoot squirrels in the parking lot all day long. Strange, but believable enough.
2) I went on to tell Katie the most frightening thing about high school is one day each semester in gym they make you do 100 naked pushups. I gave no reason why they made us do this other than it was a very sinister thing to make children do.
3) As far as cafeteria food went most of the meat was made from pure horse. That’s right, my high school served horseburgers. Where would they get the horse meat from? The school had a stable next to the dumpsters.
(Imagine this served with tater tots. Good huh?)
4) When Katie said how awful it was that our school was slaughtering horses to feed the children she said she was going to protest it. I warned her the year previous a classmate of mine had tried doing the same thing and was shot in the head by one of the snipers hiding on the roof.
5) I asked Katie what teachers she had since her class schedule had arrived in the mail. I warned her about how her math teacher was a nudist. I had him my freshman year and while checking homework his balls hit my elbow.
6) Possibly the best thing I convinced Katie was that there was a centaur who taught at the school. Yes, a girl believed a mythological beast had a teaching degree. She didn’t quite believe centaurs were real so I explained he had surgery to make his lower-half horse. What was with me and lies about horses? Either way, Katie believed one day she might have a centaur as a teacher.
(Mr. Douglas was a pretty good teacher despite his differences. Who could ever believe a Centaur would have such a strong upper body though? How could he do pushups?
I want to say there were more things I made her believe to be true but these are the only ones I remember and they were the best anyway. On a separate occasion I told her I drove passed her house and saw a 10 foot tall clown holding a knife standing outside her bedroom window. She should have known it was a lie because how would I possibly know which window was the one belonging to her bedroom? When I first began talking to Katie she said two things to me. The first was she would never have sex and the second was Anne Hathaway would never get naked in a movie. Two years went by and Katie emulated Paris Hilton and wanted to be a porn star. A few more years passed and I saw Anne Hathaway nude in Love & Other Drugs.
Why are people as stupid as Katie real?
Wait. That wasn’t horse meat?? DAMN that Debbie Hecker!
I’m almost afraid to ask who Debbie Hecker is because it will either make me feel dumb or you feel old.
Debbie Hecker was the nemesis of my youth–spoiling things like Santa and telling my grade school crush I loved him.
I still hate her.
I think she needs a letter written to her that will never be sent…
Good idea!
Messing with stupid people is just mean… nah, I am just messing with you… oh… crap…
I was going to send you a nice email but forget about it.
Don’t be like that.
Stupid girls also make excellent blogging material.
That’s why Noah took two of them onto his ship. They do serve a purpose.
Stupid girls are literally our meal ticket, good work. Also, if you wanted to, I’m pretty sure you could VERY easily have sex with this girl based on what you said.

Considering I was almost 18 and she was 14 I had very little desire to. I could never survive in a prison. My butt dimples are too cute.
I had some stupid girls in my classes. One asked me, “What is a mallet? Is it like a sword?” Another one thought purple chalk came from purple rocks. Oh, and this was back when I was an education major. Future teachers of our youth!
Please tell me she didn’t become a teacher and decided to go with what she was destined to do and choke on her own tongue.
I hope so – I switched majors. Those girls were so inane I would actually use a restroom on a different floor to avoid them during breaks.
Strange. I spent most of my time in school trying to get a look into the girl’s room and there you were avoiding it. People are so lame.
I wanted to get a look at the boys, but not their restroom. Gross.
Hahahahaha, omg, how can someone seriously believe you and all those things? 😉
Well done though, well done.
I’m a very convincing person. I get people to believe outrageous things all the time. But Katie, this was too insane. It goes beyond logic, science, and religion.
The idea of a nude math teacher’s junk grazing my elbow would have been enough to get me to quit school. But I like the idea of the snipers on the school roof.
Stupid girls—and stupid guys, for that matter—are a pox on society. Something must be done.
The only real mystery in my high school was when people would bring up the third floor and how no one was allowed up there anymore because of the fire. Of course it didn’t exist. I had to spark some imagination into things.
Are you suggesting death?
I can’t see that there’s any other option, really.
I had a centaur as a teacher as school
*At school even, luckily he wasn’t the English teacher.
Ha well if there was only one and he got that right then I hope he taught math. Counting can be tough. I hope he tapped his hooves, once for yes, twice for no like trick horses do.
I snuck up on him once, he kicked me through a wall, jokes on him as he was fired shortly after that.
haha! I had this post saved cause I knew it was gonna be good.
The Centaur really made me laugh. Good stuff, Tim.
Thanks Lisa! Saying a Centaur not only existed yet taught at a school seemed way too ridiculous not to test her stupidity on. I wonder what she’d say if I asked her if she remembered this.
The other question should be why are people as bad as Tim real? I’m not even saying that because I can totally relate to what Katie have gone through. Not that I would admit any of my nasty high school stuff…but still, the plastic surgery centaur would be wonderful. I still haven’t met one. Tsk.
Seriously though, she’s really REAL?
I guess it was a little mean. I failed to mention she also started the Tim Boyle Myspace Fan Club. I think it was out of pity so she wasn’t that nice.
Even worse, I think she’s still alive. How has she not been killed by a vending machine yet?
