Re: define stupidity :(

I don't think that's any worse than me. When I was a kid(about 10yrs old) my grandfather used to let me steer his car while sitting on his lap. Well, one day he asked me to go and bring his car in front of the house for him. It was a '77 Chrysler new yorker,so you could probably picture a little kid holding himself up with the steering wheel, just peeking over the dashboard enough to see the hood ornament.I had my heels dug into the floor so I could stand up while doing this, and I was nervous as hell! I backed up the car, thought I put it in "D" and proceeded to push the gas pedal. It was still in reverse! I panicked, pulled down on the lever and forgot to take my foot off the gas. I ended up putting his car into the garage before I could stop it.Trouble was, the doors were still closed . Needless to say, he didn't let me move his car by myself after that.
