Captain ILL was discussing this title, Don't Read This Book If You're Stupid, with Sergeant ILL before the book even arrived. She posed an interesting question which left the Captain a bit stumped: how do you know if you're stupid? Everyone knows that IQ tests are biased against mutants and other minorities, so testing doesn't help. Of course everyone is always telling Captain ILL what an idiot he is, but they're all morons so their opinion hardly counts. The Captain does know how to read, and can do enough arithmetic to pay the bill in a restaurant, though he sometimes has to remove his shoes and socks to have enough digits to count on to figure out the tip. He's never embarrassed by this though, since there are always several other guys doing the same thing. So what makes a person stupid? Captain ILL doesn't know, and he wasn't able to glean any clues from this book since he erred on the side of caution and didn't open it.
