Okay, this is technically off-topic but on thread title.
I remember back in late 80s, early 90s I was watching the WBIR news and Bill Williams was anchoring with some young new girl (probably not long after Edye Ellis left) and they had just run a piece about somebody doing something idiotic, maybe a dumb criminal or something. Coming back to the anchors who were chuckling about it, the young newbie girl said, "What's that you always say, Bill, there's no fixing stupid?" Bill clearly felt that bit of insight ran counter to his folksy good-natured image, and the way he glared at her through a forced put-on grin as they went to a commercial break let you know he went all unholy on her as soon as the cameras cut. I lmao'd and liked him that much more for it for some reason.
And now, I have set a new personal record for lowest payoff-to-story-length ratio. Yay.
