I have you beat on stupid at least for this winter. Neighbor was having trouble getting his Cub Cadet Side by Side to shift from F to N to R, and brought it up for me to check. The problem was the engine would not idle down enough to let the centrifugal pulley stop the drive train. I had the brake set and the bed propped up so I could get to the engine to check the throttle linkage. The neutral light was on and I used a broom stick to push the gas pedal and check the linkage operation. Surprise, it said neutral, but was actually in reverse. The locked brakes didn't stop it, but my leg being hit by the steel running board did. I got a couple of serious bruises, and 4 days later had a bad case of cellulitis in one of the bruises. It took 2 days in the hospital with IVs to get the cellulitis under control. I did get the idle problem fixed though. I think I beat you for stupidity.
