Mistake is code word for bullshit

But you think that because you are a very dim bulb!

See, I work at the Museum of Science. Nowhere in my job desription does it even mention my responsability regarding each of my family, friends, coworkers, etc. do with their lives. The smal number of people I am responsible for, I tend to. And if I screw up, nobody dies, it doesn't cost billions of dollars and the chances of the world ending are statistically zero.

If the next Preident of the United states says to me "Say, Max, would you pleae be secretary of Defense"? I'm going to say "No, sir. I am totally unqualified for that job and it would be very, very dangerous to put someone as unqualified as I am in that position on account of how there are lives on the line, billions of dollars at stake, and the possability fi starting a conflict which eventually ends all life on earth. I strongly recomend you choose someone who would be really really above average, maybe even great at the job. Becuase it's one of the most important jobs on earth and you, and the people you choose should be held to a far higher standard than the avergae Joe. Because if the averge Joe held either of your jobs? It could be very, very dangerous. But I know you know that sir, beause only a very dim bulb wouldn't know that."
