apples to apples

I’m sitting at the library, at a table behind a couple in their teens.

Guy: This is so annoying. I hate history.

Girl: Don’t you find it interesting, at least a little bit?

Guy: No, it’s just a retarded amount of reading.

Girl: Well, I think it’s interesting.

Guy: What? Who cares how WWI started; it’s over, isn’t it? Let’s, like, move on, y’know?

Girl: You’re stupid.

Me: [leaning back in my chair to interrupt] Maybe he isn’t stupid – maybe his intellectual-curiosity just doesn’t naturally extend beyond video games and porn.

[pause]

Or, perhaps his mental-capacity is just too small for the questions he’s pondering.

Guy: [to girl] Yeah, maybe it’s my mental...

[pause; to me] Actually, that sorta sounds like the same thing as being stupid.

Me: It’s exactly the same thing.

[pause]

God you’re stupid.
