Stupid is as Stupid Does

"Maine man's 'gun' turns out to be a tattoo" reads a headline in todays news. 
  When I was growing up there was a popular saying that said "stupid is as stupid does.  I never really understood that phrase until I read this story.  It seems some workers observed a man who was shirtless and had what appeared to be a gun tucked into his waistband so the police were called.  The "gun" turned out to be a tattoo.  It could very well be that this is just the first of several times this will happen to this man. 
  I can just imagine  him being pulled over for a traffic stop and a police officer seeing the tattoo while approaching the man's car and ordering him out.  Such an incident could be life threatening.  Actually, it already has been as he was surrounded by weapon bearing officers. 
  Getting a gun tattoo is the brightest idea in the world.
