To answer an idiot I have to come down to his level, which makes me an idiot. I have a higher standard to live by; it is the Word of God.

At this point, I wondered if she was complimenting me or setting me up
for something else. I have learned through the years that she knows how 
to control a situation. 

"After all," she said, "you've only had one accident in your life and
that was when some idiot ran into you." 

I had to think about that for a moment, and then I recalled that
accident about ten years ago. I was driving down the main street, and 
somebody pulled out from the side street without stopping and collided 
with me. That person at the time was on her cell phone and didn't see 
me. 

"And think about this," she continued. "If it wasn't for idiots driving
on the road what in the world would lawyers do to make money?" 

Believe me that thought never crossed my mind, and I had to admit that
she had something there. 

Sometimes, I think all of these idiots out there are a hazard to real
life. But then, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage had a point. 
These idiots make the rest of us look normal. Nobody would recognize 
how good we are in our driving skills if it wasn't for them. 

Let me just say, “Thank you idiots.” 

Recently I ran across a Bible verse that troubled me. It was Proverbs
26:4, “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like 
unto him.” 

To answer an idiot I have to come down to his level, which makes me an
idiot. I have a higher standard to live by; it is the Word of God.
