Every time I've said stupid things (in my best retrospective judgement) it has been when the context has provoked me to contempt.

Almost every time for me. I've managed one or two stupidities even without that preparation.

It's just so much more embarrassing to realise that other people being foolish doesn't preclude being stupid myself. :P
