Years ago, when I was a couple of years out of college and the job market was not so hot, I worked with the dumbest person I have come across in any workplace. And that includes teenage stints as a bus boy, dishwasher, McDonald's, and doing skilled trade work in large auto plants. We were both contractors for a temp agency at a major automotive company. It was embarrassing to be an 'equal' in the workplace with this person, frankly. Anyway, she routinely sent emails with the Subject line "FYI" that would just contain a question.

Hi Baboon, what time do we have our Operations meeting?
She was also studying for her *Associates* degree (n her mid 40s) and she would ask me all of the time for help with her "algerbra" homework. It was like trying to teach math to a dog. "So all it means is that X is a fill in the blank number and you have to figure out what that fill in the blank number is" Looks at me wide eyed. "So in this example 2 + X = 3, can you figure out what number X is supposed to be?" Blank stare. Algerbra is tough.
