Goofy Retardation

The process by which someone that does actually posess some common sense, will look for the most ludracrous way to circumvent a problem/issue with a twisted sense of logic.

Goofy Retardation Example: Using gasoline to unclog a clogged drain, instead of a product like Draino, since its a harsh chemical, it must be good the the pipes. Another Example: Mayonnaise used as a protectant on a rod iron fence instead of car wax of some other protectant designed for said purpose.
