No. I am a moron.

At least once a week I try to put a full coffee pot in the cupboard. My brain confuses the signal "get coffee cup" with "put coffee pot back" and it ends badly.

I forget to get gas. I will look at my gas gauge when I get in the car, see its low and head right to the gas station. But somewhere along the lines that signal gets lost and I end up at work running on fumes.

Every time I go into the kitchen I open the fridge door. Even when I'm not hungry and even when I'm not looking for anything. I just open it, look inside, then shut it again.

I also check the knobs on the stove every time I'm by it to make sure they are turned off. Even if I haven't used the stove for days, I still do it.

I forget my own phone number and my address is stored in the darkest nether regions of my brain. It takes me a good 30 seconds to remember it.

I am a moron.

Nope. Always wished I could be smart, but alas, it was not to be. :(

statistically smarter than the average, but I like to think of myself as more clever than smart.

Smart is the ability recognize the learning curve by the third or forth trip around the loop.

I'd think that "smart" is the ability to learn and to solve problems. After all, that's how the term is used when applied by us to animals outside our species. E.g., goats are pretty smart. Fence them in, and they'll figure out a way to get out. They'll figure out how to unlatch gates, they'll figure out where the fence is weakest, etc.

I appear smart by not opening my mouth for as long as I can, and then vent here on ATOT. :D
