You cannot be serious?

One of my dad's favorite quotes is, "There are a lot of stupid people in this world." I believe him more and more everyday. I am not saying I am the smartest person in the world by any means. I do not want to build myself up, but I believe myself to be smarter than the average bear. One of the brighter colors in the coloring box, perhaps the macaroni orange. Anyways, I am in a class with what are considered to be average students. Granted these students do try because when you sign up for the class I am currently enrolled in, you know that in order to not fail you will have to put forth some effort. This being said, I have heard some of the dumbest questions I have ever encountered in my life in this class. One of which being, "So, the baby doesn't grow in your stomach?" (in reference to the organ) My all time favorite discussion being about birthing children. Why do we always get on this subject, you may be asking yourself? I guess it is just the wonderful joy of high school. We are all worried about getting prego. Back to my favorite discussion. We were talking about the body processes and a girl raises her had and poses the question, "Can a whole arm fit up there?" (in reference to having a baby and a woman's no no zone) Our teacher looks at her and replys, "No, that's not physically possible." The girl, not to be proved wrong says, "No I'm pretty sure it can because when my sister was having her baby it looked like the nurse fit her whole arm up there." The teacher once again states it is not possible and the sheet that is draped over the lady is probably the reason why she thought it to be possible, but the girl replies, "No, Im pretty sure it happened." Our teacher then brings out a model to show that there is no possible way a human arm could fit up there. The girl then asks how women's intestines do not fall out through the privates. Our entire class laughs and the teacher tells her there are separate cavities for these organs. The girl then shakes her head and finally agrees with what the teacher is telling her and class resumes. By this point I am asking myself how this girl could have had these queries in the first place. She is a GIRL in HIGH SCHOOL. I mean really, she cannot be serious.
Another awesome example of people being, for lack of a better word, stupid, is my experiences working at a restaurant. I love my job, but the people aspect, not so much. I can't stand whiney people. Nonetheless, my favorite experience happened this summer while i was working on a Friday afternoon. To set up the scene for you I will let you know that there are two attractions in downtown Mocksville. One is a bar, and one is our restaurant. To be allowed in the bar you must be a member. Moving on with the story. We had a lady come in and I said what I always say. "Hi ma'am, how are you doing today?" She answered fine and then asked what we charged for coming in. I said "Ma'am this a a restaurant, there is no cost except for you paying for your food." She stared at me for a minute and then said, "Oh ok. Do y'all have music?" I replied, "Yes ma'am on Wednesday nights." She said, "Does that cost anything?" I said, "No ma'am this is a Restaurant, the only charge is for the food." She said thank you, shook her head and left. Really lady? Really? The name of the restaurant is Restuarant 101. Come on now. Ohh society, how I cherish our interactions.
