Inexplicable; That's What You Are

My secular humanist senior moment:
In the parking lot after Pilates class, I noticed a fellow-student's license plate: DOUNOJC.
I'm always interested in wordplays and acronmyms on license plates, so I asked her what her plate meant. She replied, "Do You Know Jesus Christ?"
Not satisfied to have asked a dumb question and leave it at that, I replied, "Oh. I thought maybe the JC stood for James City." (the name of our county).
The only thing she was left to decide was what kind of idiot I was.

Idiot-proof?

I got myself a timer on a neck cord so I could set it and wander around the house and yard without burning the house down while my stock was simmering/eggs were boiling. One day, the timer went off in the back yard, at which point I went inside, took the time off over my head, and hung it on its peg on the wall. However, I did NOT turn the stove off.
Do you think I should start a career as a professional idiot-proofer?
