grumpy people
Grumpy People May Be More Evolved
Being intolerant and short-tempered could be a sign of evolutionary superiority. Researchers at Harvard gave chimpanzees and bonobos, two species of apes that are among the closest living relatives to humans, a variety of reward-based tasks. Chimpanzees, who can be quite grumpy, especially as they age, consistently outperformed the bonobos, who maintain a childlike playfulness throughout their lives. Victoria Wobble, the project's leader, believes the chimps' ability to put aside their sociability is one of the reasons they are more intelligent and civilized than their genetically similar great ape cousins. She also thinks the evolutionary development of chimpanzees and bonobos could provide insight into our own species. As for our buddy Oscar, we're pretty sure the well-known grouch is more intelligent than the average green Muppet, but he clearly loses evolutionary points for his squalid living conditions. SEE? I have said this for years when people tell me I am grumpy LOL wolf |

Imagine that....I think I am from the bonobos group!! However, I have just enough intelligence to get by in my every day life!
I am so very rarely grumpy or in a bad mood! But I am not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box sometimes either! (I am so just kidding!)

I'd rather play with the bonobos.
Grumpiness is too distracting for me, and keeps me from being able to focus on my work. On the other hand, so does a lot of socializing, and it will lead to me being grumpy when I'm trying to get things done. It doesn't make me smarter; it just makes people more likely to leave me alone and stop distracting me. |
