How does Barr get his head through doorways? Like our grate pResident, his ego is totally out of control, and there is every reason to worry.

Because it's impacts your Dopamine levels and makes you feel good and eutrophic.

Additionally, people were called "DOPEs" or "DOPEY". because when someone isn't behaving smartly, it resembles how someone behaves when they are using opiates.

Dope used to only be referred to in terms of opiate usage, but over time, Dope has been used to describe pretty much any recreational drug.

The cartoons are cute though.

The title isn’t a plea for education on the etymology of the word “dope”.

You had to be there to understand.
