“A man with an unusually tiny brain managed to live an entirely normal life despite his condition, caused by a fluid buildup in his skull, French researchers reported on Thursday.
Scans of the 44-year-old man’s brain showed that a huge fluid-filled chamber called a ventricle took up most of the room in his skull, leaving little more than a thin sheet of actual brain tissue.”
Quote from Reuters
What occupation can be performed adequately by a man who only possesses a thin sheet of actual brain tissue?
I’ve always suspected that President George W. Bush has only a sliver of brain tissue; he has an uncanny ability to always make the wrong choice and then stubbornly refuse to admit his mistake. Unfortunately, Dubya is American and not French, and we are stuck with him for the next 18 months.
The hapless gentleman in the Reuters story was a civil servant, and his lack of brain tissue was no obstacle in performing his duties.
It should come as no surprise that civil servants or bureaucrats can make do with a tiny brain. It’s hopeless to argue with any government worker; they don’t operate in the realm of common sense or empirical truth. Bureaucrats are concerned only with rules and regulations, and they are immune to your logical appeals.
If you are at the post office to mail a letter to your cousin in England, and the postal drone inquires if you want that sent by ground or by air — just smile. Remember, the poor soul has only a few brain cells.
