‘Don’t Be a Dope’
- Share via
When I was a child and I did something wrong, my displeased parents would simply say, “William, don’t be a dope!” Little did my parents know how appropriate that wordage would be when used in this day and age.
“Just say no” is a fine slogan but it does not identify the deadly villian. “Don’t be a dope!” tells it all.
