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.

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. And he was a Kansas City chef!

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 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 is 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 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.

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.

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

...and they walk among us ... and REPRODUCE

Very Funny..... I like this last one best... The reproducing part is kinda scary. M

omg; have so many of my own..laughs.

(a) lost the cordless phone for two weeks; searched frantically; one day, found it on the charger.

(b) can remember at least 3 times i called a locksmith to open my car..when the passenger side was open.

(c) went to see a pyschic (which is funny already) and she told me to bring water and salt to a boil. never cooked so forgot the pot of course; nearly burnt the house down. what would i have told the insurance adjustor? arson by psychic?

(d) circulated a "10 Top Reasons Chocolate is Better than Men" in a state office and used my boss's name and his secretary's initials; that one nearly got me fired. List was hilarious tto me, though. (was only woman in the office, tired of "Top 10 Reasons Beer is Better Than Women".

and yes..i'm a natural blonde...laughs oout loud..fillepink

Someone went to McDonald's and asked for half a dozen chicken nuggets. The person replied that he couldn't do that. They only came in orders of three, six and nine.

Another person was at a Taco Bell and paid with a two dollar bill. The cashier asked why they were creating two dollar bills. The manager also had never seen a two dollar bill and called security. Security laughed his ass off and told them both that a two dollar bill was a valid bill. I think the guy managed to get whatever he wanted off the menu for free because of the mix up - and because of how long it took to fix things.

What can I say? Some people are just a few fries short of a Happy Meal. On the bright side, don't they make you feel smart?

Years ago while ordering a large coffee at a Burger Chef drive-thru, I was asked- "Would you like a cup with that?". Hmm, I wonder why they went out of business....

LOL

I hope having a blonde moment every now and then doesn't forever stamp me as an idiot.
