Winning Ugly

Well, it seems a majority of you would rather be ugly than dull, dumb or humorless. At least that's what you're saying. Having been one or more of the four choices at varying times in my life, I agree with you. Based on the ratio of money spent on beauty and hair products versus books, I doubt the rest of the country does, however. Well, we'll be the funny, bright, life-of-the-party types that no one else can look at.

My wife, as with her worm vote, once again ran counter to convention and voted for dumb. Pulling out the old ignorance is bliss, she argued that if you're dumb enough, you won't care anyway.
