    I work with an older lady who hits people with “you’re so pretty” when they do or ask something stupid and I love it.

      I first saw this used by Hugh Hefner in some reality TV show with some of his bimbos in Venice. One of them said how cool it was to be where Al Capone was born and he responded with, “You’re so pretty.” Of course, she absolutely took the compliment at face value.

    If all the village-idiots of all the villages in the world, would leave for a brand new village of village-idiots, you’d be their village-idiot.
