Idiot Sighting
We had to have the garage door
repaired.
The Sears repairman told
us that one of our problems was
that we did not have a "large"
enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute,
and said that we had the largest
one Sears made at that time,
a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said,
"Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.
"
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.
He said, "NO, it's not.
"
Four is larger than two.."
We haven't used Sears repair since.

My daughter and I went through
the McDonald's take-out window
and I gave the clerk a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.
25,
so I also handed her a quarter.
She said, "you gave me too much money.
"
I said, "Yes I know, but this way
you can just give me a dollar bill back.
"
She sighed and went to get
the manager who asked me
to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back
the quarter, and said we're sorry
but they could not do that kind of thing.
"
The clerk then proceeded to give
me back $1 and 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor
call the local township
administrative office to request the
removal of the DEER CROSSING
sign on our road.
The reason: "Too many deer are
being hit by cars out here!
I don't think this is a good place for
them to be crossing anymore.
"
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE :
My daughter went to a local
Taco Bell and ordered a taco.
She asked the person
behind the counter for
"minimal lettuce.
"
He said he was sorry,
but they only had iceburg lettuce.
From Kansas City
IDIOT SIGHTING :
I was at the airport,
checking in at the gate
when an airport employee asked,
"Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?"
To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?"He smiled knowingly and nodded,
"That's why we ask.

Happened in Birmingham , Ala
IDIOT SIGHTING :
The stoplight on the corner buzzes
when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with a coworker
of mine.
She asked if I knew what
the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people
when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded,
"What on earth are blind people
doing driving?!"
She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS .
IDIOT SIGHTING :
At a good-bye luncheon for an
old and dear coworker.
She was leaving the company due to
"downsizing.
" Our manager
commented cheerfully,
"This is fun. We should do this more often.
"
Not another word was spoken.
We all just looked at each other with
that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
I work with an individual who
plugged her power strip back
into itself and for the sake of her life,
couldn't understand why her
system would not turn on.
She was a deputy with the
Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
When my husband and I arrived
at an automobile dealership
to pick up our car,
we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department
and found a mechanic
working feverishly to unlock the drivers side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle
and discovered that it was unlocked.
"Hey," I announced to the technician,
"its open!" His reply, "I know.
I already got that side.
"
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , Mississippi
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us...
and the scary part is that they
VOTE and REPRODUCE
and our enemies know it!!!

When growing up there were two signs in front of our home that I didn't realize until later were reflecting on me;
"Slow Children at Play" - How the hell did they know I was slow? Well now my slow play works well in sexual situation :P So see the joke is on them.
"Dip Ahead" - Hell they didn't have to announce where I lived!
There is a funny sign on one pole by BYU that says:
Dead End (on the top)
Children Ahead (on the bottom)
How true is this in real life - LOL - But the BYU students that get married young and have kids aren't getting the meaning we guess.
