You don't get to swim in the pool!

A person who is extremely stupid

Is rooted in the story of my friend's brother who worked at the YMCA, and had to deal with a person who was outraged at the fact that they made him leave the pool early, so that a group of mentally disabled people could swim. A person with down-syndrome was seen pointing at the man and laughing, "You don't get to swim in the pool!!." Now how do you react when A person with Down-syndrome is making fun of YOU?
"I wanted to see what would happen if I tied steaks to my nuts and ran in front of a feral dog."
