The Power of "duuh."

I don't exactly know when I became the smartest guy on the jobsite.
Maybe it's my quick wit and stunningly studious good looks.
Or maybe it's my "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt.
I can't be sure.

Whatever the reason, I've become some sort of stupid question vacuum.
A dumb-ass information booth where mindless wandering nimwads, stop and check in.
It's driving me nuts.

But now I have a new weapon.

One simple word that eliminates the stress of processing stupidity.
A single syllable which can send 'em away scratching their empty skull cavity in utter speechlessness---


"DUUH"



I have set my mind free!
No more searching through my few remaining brain cells for an undeserved answer!
No further thought processes to fathom insane inquiries!

"Damon, should we install a LOCKING knob on the bathroom door?"

--Last week- "No jackass, in the true interest of privacy, we've decided to install the toilet in the middle of the driveway."

--This week- "duuh."

See how this works? I am cruisin the construction zones with a crapload of 'duuh' strapped to my hip like a gunslinger.

"Damon, do you want all the garbage thrown in the dumpster?"

-- Last week- " Not this time braindead, load it up in your car until it reeeeaalllly starts to stink. Then drive to the dump and leave your car there."

--This week- (simply) - "duuh."

It works for anything, and has nooo comeback.
Just a priceless blank expression-


If you choose to use the 'duuh', be careful.
It does have it's limits.

Officer --"Do you know how fast you were going?"
Young Pa-duuh-wan learner--" You're the one with the radar gun, duuh."

You gotta be careful and not abuse the 'duuh' and all it's powers.
A wise man once said:
The power of duuh, is a curious thing.
Make-a one man weep, make another man sing.
Change a hawk, to a little white dove.
More than a feeling, that's the power of "duuh."


*Damon, where do we click to vote for you? Right over there --> "duuuh."

I would use 'duuh' on my kids, but I'm too afraid that they'd use it back on me sooner rather than later.

damon, you are hysterical.

p.s. check your email. i sent you something.

Think about how much time you'll save each day, too. I mean, you can shave HOURS off the day in useless, painful dialog, with your new plan.

Also the benefit to your heart health. Detailed explanations filled with rage can raise blood pressure and cause heart strain.

"Duuh," does not. So you'll have that going for you, too.

Rickey has always been one to enjoy his morning constitutionals in an open air environment. This "toilet in the driveway" idea sounds smashing.

The Johnson's Zoo said...

I checked with my boss and he confirmed that you did not get permission to use his picture. You should be more careful in the future.

Keli said...

You mean all these years that I've been studying how to manage encounters and unprovoked attacks by stupers (short, as you know, for abysmally stupid persons), and the answer was that simple? Duh!!!

What happens when a stuper responds,
"Huh?"
Can you then beat them to a pulp and not get arrested?

Stephanie M said...

Damon - you're a genius! I'm starting this with the kids FIRST thing tomorrow morning! A karate kick to the chaos! shazam.

Angie said...

I hereby retitle this post as : "Duh And Duh-er."

Tracy Rambles On And On said...

See, I am a child of the 80's and 90's and I remember when "duh" became a huge part of our vocabulary.
I also remember coming home one night, a little altered, to find my mom was still awake.
She said "You're just NOW getting home?"

Me "Duh"

Mom: Whack! as she slapped me across my face.

Duh is a very powerful thing. Be careful with the duh!

Queen Goob said...

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I posted that SAME picture on August 1st.

That is SCARY.

Not the picture, the fact we both used it.

I had a family reunion to go to here in the Panhandle.

THAT was scary.
