KINDA MAKES YOU WONDER DOESN'T IT?

IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: 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 were
being
hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore. This one was
from
Kingman, KS.

2) IDIOTS 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 iceberg.

3) IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an
airport employee asked, and "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." It
happened in Birmingham, Alabama

4) IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to
cross
the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of
mine
when 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

5) IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker
who was
leaving the company due to "down sizing," our manager commented
cheerfully, "this is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was
spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer in the
headlights
stare. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.

6) IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip
back
into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system
would
not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less.

7) 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
driver's 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!"
To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side." This was at the
Ford
dealership in Canton, Mississippi
