Sometimes you can just know.

Sometimes you can just tell that the caller is going to be a little slow (and by a little slow I mean they have a problem with blinking and breathing at the same time, never mind right clicking) before you even get to the aol email address. With some callers I can tell before they finish giving me their phone number (the first thing I ask for before I even have their name).

How fast can you tell when your caller is a mouth breathing fish for brains moron?

Dumb people just sound dumb.

If your words arrive at irregular intervals, slurred together because you like to talk with as little lip-movement as possible, and the gaps are filled with 'uhhh....' because you don't want to give away control of the conversation while you're waiting for your next thought to arrive, chances are good that you're going to to be today's most competent user.

Smart people have their thoughts in order before they talk. They're not mush-mouthed. They don't grunt. Spoken pauses are used only to indicate that they're still listening.

Not going to to be today's most competent user.

Obviously the topic hit one of my buttons...
