I actually feel sorry for her now.
I feel sorry for her as well. It was her big moment in the spotlight and she utterly embarrassed/made a fool of herself.
I feel that way every time I have sex.
I can smell the hours and hours and hours she spent memorizing answers to questions they suspected would come... with her not understanding any of it, just memorizing... and then during the actual question bits everything in her head regurgitated all at once.
She's a moron. And that's fine; a lot of pretty girls get through life just fine without ever having an original thought. But she shouldn't have tried to be something she isn't; a smart beauty queen.

I dunno, I hate coming up with answers on the fly as well. I'd like to think I'm more articulate than that answer, but I know I've said some dumb things too.

Sure they do, but only at the cost of making others' lives more troublesome than they otherwise would be. It is decidedly not fine to be a moron.

It's the "South Africa" and "Iraq" stuff that tips me off. She had plenty of answers ready for questions about those two places, and then her head exploded.
And once in my life... during a military inspection... I was asked a question that had a very easy answer, and I blanked. I knew it was easy. I opened my mouth... and nothing came out. Normally, when you don't know an answer during an inspection the answer is, "I don't know sir, but this Marine will find out." But fuck that. I stood there for about 90 seconds... this Colonel just standing there staring at me... until finally my brain unclenched, and I answered the question correctly. I didn't lose my military bearing. I didn't bring up random bits about puppies and kittens when I couldn't remember my 4th General Order.

Without pretty morons, where would we find our trophy wives when we hit our mid-40's? I'm already looking forward to mine. I figure she's about 14, now. Just 10 more years to go.

Dunno. Just go down to the pound & adopt a hooker or something. Otherwise they get put down.

You shouldn't wait that long. As a friend of mine says, 'There's no substitute for early and proper training.'

Her response was timed. You can hear the buzzer near the end.
The top general of the ACC (Air Combat Command) was visiting our shop and he posed a question to my buddy Doug Vestal. He asked, "Young man, what is the purpose of the United States Air Force?"
Without missing a beat, Doug responded back, "To kill people and break their toys sir."
The general was quite pleased with that answer.

That was actually pretty good. I've noticed most of those little videos on YouTube end up self destructing due to being 30-50% too long. They ended that one right when they should have.
