Stupidity is relative.
My father kept a loaded .25 auto in the top drawer of the chest in my parents bedroom. All of us kids knew it was there but we also knew that if we touched it we had better just shoot ourselves with it 'coz that wouldn't be NUTHIN' compared to the trouble we would be in otherwise . . . . .
