How To Make Yourself Look Like A Fool

I keep seeing this title pop up in the new threads, and it interests me greatly. However, I then see its an American Politics thread, and there's little that interests me less.

So I thought I'd make the thread I wanted to see here. :)

Well, how do you make yourself look like a fool? Any ways you've proven to work, or just general guesses? Perhaps ways in which you've seen others be successful?
I didn't know people did that intentionally. I just do it naturally. And I do it well.

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Anybody can be a fool if they grow up with all the wrong input and information, and cannot find the resources to unfool one's self. Enter an entirely new situation and experience and everyone starts out with the great potential of being a fool.

Opposite of fool is wisdom. Wisdom is much harder to obtain than foolheartiness.

A better question is what passes for wisdom among the masses?

On RF people are going to play the fool, but in the world they may be more cautious.

There are no stupid questions, a fool is quick to disregard this and make fools of others before they understand where the other is coming from.

Sam (eldest daughter) and I went to.market this morning.

How to make yourself look a fool.

Walking through a busy market looking at the stalls and chatting, not looking where your feet are going. Sam tripped over a protruding metal canopy base, grabbing for the stalls table, clutching the covering, dragging the cover off the table, along with the stall holders entire stock of carved wooden items. Gaining your balance, standing upright with a collection of wooden Christmas decorations at your feet, unable to move for fear of treading on the goods.

It's guaranteed to embarrass a 17 year old girl who feels such a fool.

We picked everything up, luckily no damage. Then we took the stallholder to the nearest cafe for a warming drink.

Start talking without listening.
Start talking without having any knowledge.
Use a lot of swear words and talk over everyone.
Keep doing these over and over again because a true fool never learns

Awww...it happens.

My husband was at the grocery store one day, looking into the freezer with the door open(they tend to cloud up), and all the sudden he hears a loud SMACK! Some guy was so interested in his phone, he didn't see the open door. He started laughing, and the guy yelled "you think this is funny?" Husband said "yes, I do!" Then the guy didn't know what to say and hurried away.

In some circles, I'd say you could replace the swear words with words you don't fully understand.

What does everyone in between do?
