> Even a dumb cop is not going to think you called them to remove and investigate your own skimmer. you might be so smart that you don't know what "dumb" means. I assure you: speaking after enough decades on this planet, that "dumb" means something which includes, at a minimum, totally lacking or ignorant in what a "smart" person might include as "common sense". speaking in broad strokes. any kind of phrase of "even a dumb person surely wouldn't do X, Y, Z" should be assumed false/wrong. otherwise "dumb" means nothing. again, speaking in broadstrokes, obviously. (again: for "smart" folks it should be obvious but to "dumb" folks may not be obvious. HN readership, however imperfect they may be, is overwhelmingly weighted towards the "smart" end.)
