This is a real life story I hear from my father. In the workshop where he worked decades ago there was a young apprentice that everyone called ‘Idiot Fu’. This Fu fella earned that nick-name because of the many foolish things he did. Once he tried changing the amount on his pay check but was ‘caught’ by a bank officer when he tried to cash it. The bank reported the attempt back to his company bosses but they ‘forgave’ him because they figured it was really not his fault. He was just plain stupid.
And on another occasion, he wanted to leave early from work. So during lunch break when no one was around, he turned the hands of the workshop clock ahead and thought everyone would not notice and leave early with him! Of course, his bosses and supervisors had wrist watches. As usual, he got his usual ‘scolding’ and things just went back to normal – to wait for our Idiot Fu to do his next ‘act’.
If you are idiotic enough, you really do get away with many things. Many people will just laugh it off and move on. In fact, I can remember Idiot Fu so well precisely because he was so idiotic. So if you are an idiot, you should aim to be Idiot Fu like. George Bush and his goons really remind me of that. And boy, they will be well remembered for sure…
