Dumb and Me

As I get older I think the world is dumber.
Then I reflect.
When I was 11 I shot the Family TV with a pellet gun.
When I was 12 I accidentally burned down the apple tree and part of the fence.
When I was 13 I mixed all the chemicals in my chemistry set together and sorta blew up my dresser.
When I was 14 a praying mantis nest I had lost, hatched in my parents bedroom, in January.
At 15 I destroyed the chemistry lab at school, at 16 I was pulled over the day after I got my License going 102 in a 25, At 17 I took a life-size stuffed doll with the biggest bra money could buy filled to bursting to Prom. At 18 when my Girlfriend asked for slim-fast for Christmas, I gave it to her. Day after my 19th birthday I tried to fight a car full of irate mini-humans, by myself. 20 years old found me water-skiing behind a car in the church parking lot during a rainstorm. 21 was almost it, I tried to touch a dead alligator that wasn't.
At 22 I rode a flexible flier down Ephraim canyon at 2 am, 23 I drove a truck over an old graveyard and collapsed 5 graves, 24 I took a GEO Storm into the escalante off road area and got lost and stuck, 25 I got fat, 26 years old I took a job painting slums for a slumlord, 27 I calmly watched as a fellow idiot tried to put out a small fire with a rag soaked in paint thinner, 28 I watched as a employee poured gas in the window of his own car and threw in a match, 29 was my first golf experience from a blacktop driving balls into a neighborhood.
30, I popped a can of expanding foam into my own face, At 31 I jumped a golf cart backwards off a 6 foot high loading dock, 32 was the year I really started to push things by calling 15 federal inmates a racial slur and lazy in the same breath.
33 I could have legally taught in synagogue, but instead I was careless with a deadly rodentcide and ended up in ICU for three days with glowing poop.
34 I took a job for the state.
35 I forgot how old I was and started telling people I was 29, but my rapidly growing forehead is a little to obvious.
When I was 36 I beat the hell out of two guys in a road rage sort of thing, after I kicked in the driver side door as they were leaving I realized "Hey! I could get in trouble for that!"
Also at 36, because Karma man hates me and my Dad is still mad about the TV. I got shot with a pellet gun by some kid.
37. Nothing yet, but the year is still young.
So to reiterate.
As I get older It seems that the world is getting dumber. On reflection however.
Its just me.
