Nice but dim
Before I got a proper science job I worked at BT as a temp.  It was very much a noddy job but the folks were great, and I generally had a good time. Holly, one of the girls I worked with, was thick as two short planks, but in a nice way. Some of the belters she came away with were:

"If a cow licks a bald man's head, does his hair grow back?"

"dna_girl, you're a scientist. If global warming happens, will the ice caps float off into space?"

And my favourite Hollyism of all time:

We were sitting around talking about things that happened to us when we were kids when of the other girls said that for some reason or another she had been born with no skin on her neck.  You could hear the single braincell in Holly's head squeaking at this comment, and then she came out with:
"Is that fake skin then?"
To which the other girl replied:
"Yeah, it goes on all foamy, like" 
Holly: "Oh right"
And she couldn't understand why we were pissing ourselves laughing. 

Ah dear. Sometimes I wonder how the hell we became the dominant species.

Hey now, at least she's asking questions. It's the ones that could be smart and show no interest that are worse.
