The Search for Intelligent Life

"The final summary of the complete catalogue is here, sir." The official ran his eyes over the summary and looked up. "Bad news, sir. They're all morons."
"Hmph. You're sure?"
"It says here the plinath are stupid, the shbors are dummies, and the nmnr think logic is a kind of food."
The director of the Extraterrestrial Sentients Affairs Department ran a hand through his gray hair. "We've finally explored the entire galaxy. There have to be some."
His subordinate looked back to the summary. "The hksaluderu just last month managed to put a roof on a house after centuries of careful consideration. The lphops ritually purify themselves if they accidentally come up with an idea. The fosorosons have proved to be generally unintelligent."
The director sighed. "So that's it. Humans are the only truly intelligent life in the galaxy. There's only one thing we can do now." He stood and planted his left hand on his desk while clenching the right. "Run our observational footage of these clowns twenty-four-seven to make people laugh."
