I don't understand it. If I do something stupid then someone says that surely if I had a brain I wouldn't be dangerous as I wouldn't do the stupid thing because I would have a brain.

Why would I be dangerous? What has danger got to do with brains or stupidity?

Please can someone explain this to me?

Of course you *could* just say a generic answer to how your summer is, but that's not what i'm looking for.

This question is so generic so points to whoevers response is the most creative/funny and usuable. I want to blow some minds.
