Their tiny little brains have an attention span of a gnat.No! Wait! Gnats are geniuses compared to them.Hasn’t Patty been spending a lot of time at their house? The Dr’s theses taking a long time to write? Of course it is, he is currently working on Chapter 326 “Television: a Substitute for a Real Life”“Mr. Bear, may we have an aaaarrrrgggghhhh please?
Hi Rose. .. Everything in life is always a surprise to the Pennys. It’s not only their attention span, but the brain wattage.
You’ve heard the expression, I’m sure, "He’s not the brightest bulb in the package. " Well. .. Burl is a night-light bulb. Or maybe even one of those mini Christmas bulbs. . . the tiny clear ones you can pull straight out cos they’re not screwed in.
Watching the same movies over and over is a great comfort to them. Burl is over 50 years old and has never figured anything out in his life. (Although it only took him three tries to get anything out of the soft-serve machine at the Glorious Glutton Buffet.) .He has been seen waiting for a STOP sign to change. He’s never been to New Mexico because he doesn’t speak the language. He gets really angry when he sees people rubbernecking as they pass an accident, and he slows way down so he can give them a dirty look. Burl once spent ten minutes trying to dry his hands in a restroom where the paper towel dispenser instructions were, “PULL DOWN – TEAR UP.” Took him that long to get his hands dry with little shreds of paper towel. He buys clip-on ties because he can never remember if the rabbit comes out of the hole and around the tree or around the tree and down the hole. When those commercials ask, “What’s in your wallet?”, he has to cheat and look to get it right.
Too bad that doesn’t work for “The Sting,” once you know the ending the rest of the movie falls flat and you can’t really enjoy the intricate play of the scam.
Pipe Tobacco, so sorry to disappoint you with all the AAAARRRGGHHH’s. I suppose I could try to be a little more inventive but I do think some of the fans of this “comic” are addicted to dull and dumb and would not handle new things very well. However, for your sake I will try to do better.

Simple in the most pejorative sense. Like cats playing endlessly with a feather on a string or a moving spot of light on the floor.
