“He’s so dumb, he stayed up all night studying for a urine test”
It’s an old joke that a person is so dumb, “he/she stayed up all night studying for a urine test.” The joke has been cited in print since at least 1968, when it was a Polish joke. The joke has also been told as a “dumb blonde” joke.
The joke has been frequently told about a school’s athletes, who sometimes do have to take urine exams. The joke was a Texas A&M Aggies joke in 1977, and has been told about football players at the University of Georgia and the University of Miami.
