They Walk Amongst Us

[-pops-]

*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.*

*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.*

**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 iceberg lettuce.*

*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 was 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 **ISN’T** silent." **

SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to

pronounce the dash. *

and wonder how many of these vote democrat.......
