"God must love stupid people, he made so many of them".

This quote came with the email but personally I don't think God should be
blamed!

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 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, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know.

I already got that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS

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.



IDIOT SIGHTING:
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 we 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.'
From Kingman , KS





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 an intellectually challenged 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's a probation officer in Wichita , KS




IDIOT SIGHTING :
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who 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.
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less.





How would you pronounce this child's name?

"Le-a"

Leah?? NO
Lee - A?? NOPE
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.

This child attends a school in Kansas City, Mo. Her mother is irate because
everyone is getting her name wrong.

It's pronounced "Ledasha", When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of
the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."

SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to
pronounce the dash.

If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.



STAY ALERT!
They walk among us .... and they VOTE and REPRODUCE

I have got to say this, and it was told to me from a person that knew the people that named their child. Please do not condemn me for the spelling, it is a childs name.

the childs name was Shithead, pronounced Shi-thead. and that is the truth from the man that knew the family.

these are great-- love em...

My best friend and I used to play a game where when a song would come on the radio, the first to correctly name the band punched the other one in the arm (we were young....don't judge)

Anyway, we were driving along one day and Blue Oyster Cult came on the radio and he said "Police" to which I said "no you idiot, it's Blue Oyster Cult" and punched him...

...at which point the siren and lights behind me turned on as I was pulled over....

Now, I laugh every time I hear "don't fear the reaper"

Idiot sighting...

Hey Chuck,

Speaking of names:
A good friend of ours works as a school principal in rural Virginia. One day, back when she was teaching classes, she was reading the roll of a new class and stumbled over the name of one of the students. To which the student replied,
"It's pronounced, Fay - 'mal - ay".
"That's a very unusual name.", my friend said. "What's the origin of it?"
"I dunno, that's the name they gave me at the hospital."

The spelling was F E M A L E.

Tom

Now I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best.

The night that drove ol dixie down. :)
