Dumb and Dumber

My mistake was believing that
Smart was short for book smart
When actually
Book smart is short for book smart-ass
 
I only figured this out
When I started reading the right book
In which I learned that
The smarter you think you are
The more self-serving you become
Which is the dumbest thing you can do
