Smart People Stammer

I got a crappy sweet joke-of-the-day calendar for Christmas from CB last year and occasionally there is a real gem in there.

“Stammering is different than stuttering. Stutterers have trouble with the letters, while stammerers trip over entire parts of a sentence. We stammerers generally think of ourselves as very bright. My own private theory is that stammerers have so many ideas swirling around their brains at once that they can’t get them all out, though I haven’t found any scientific evidence to back that up.”
- Bob Newhart

Yeah, I know, he is a comedian trying to be funny but that is exactly how I feel most of the time. My sentences come out all jumbled up because my brain is moving faster than my fat tongue can go.

Give stammerers a break, they are smarter than you are.
