They have the single mothers pension to 'fall back on'. They're not 'dumb', even if they really are.
Anyone who knows what the 'pyjama run' is, commonly known as the 'jamy run', will know what I mean.

They walk among us.
Guys, aren't we being a little unkind ? we need stupid people, they have a role to play. Like finding weaknesses in safety systems that others would not think of, making smarter people feel good. etc, I'm sure you can think of others. In some counties (in asia) the dumb one in the family is treated with affectionate tolerance. " Because they have absorbed the stupidity for the rest of us, so that we could be clever". The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has limits. AE cheers simmo

The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. The lab finally figured out what it was and what had happened.It seems that a guy had somehow gotten hold of a JATO unit (Jet Assisted Take Off – actually a solid fuel rocket ) that is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra 'push' for taking off from short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. Then he attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO!The facts, as best could be determined, are that the operator of the 1967 Impala hit JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles [4.8 kilometers] from the crash site. This was established by the prominent scorched and melted asphalt at that location. The JATO, if operating properly, would have reached maximum thrust within five seconds, causing the Chevy to reach speeds well in excess of 350 MPH [560 km/h], continuing at full power for an additional 20–25 seconds. The driver, soon to be pilot, most likely would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners, basically causing him to become insignificant for the remainder of the event. However, the automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles [4.0 km] (15–20 seconds) before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes, blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface, then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles [2.3 km] and impacting the cliff face at a height of 125 feet [38 m], leaving a blackened crater 3 feet [0.9 m] deep in the rock.Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable; however, small fragments of bone, teeth and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.
