Without missing a beat, the teacher said 'leave my mother out of this. I don’t make fun of your parents, and look what they produced.'"

    Roasts About Intelligence

    1. I'm not saying you're dumb, but you failed the Turing test. 🤖
    2. You're living proof that parallel universes exist because I can't imagine anyone else being this...unique. 🌌
    3. You're the reason the gene pool needs a lifeguard. 🏊
    4. If brains were dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your nose. 👃
    5. I envy people who haven't met you. Not because you're annoying, but because they still have hope for humanity. 🙏
