Sigh. After reading your posts, I can see why you feel that Bush is so intelligent. I expect you feel that way about most of the people you meet, see, or hear about.
And while I have been called many things, often with good reason (and sometimes accompanied by appropriate hand gestures), this is the first time I have been called a liberal, either fiscally or socially. Libertarian, maybe. The prospect of me being a liberal must have Lloyd George spinning in his grave! It is as wrong for you to assume that all who oppose the impending invasion are liberals as it would be for me to assume that all who promote it must be knuckle-dragging troglodytes (;-).
And it is requirement to provide a joke with every post (the obligatory joke, or OJ).
IDIOTS AT WORK (or pre-darwin awards)...
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that
I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she
could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she
explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the
signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her.
She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would
have it, they matched.
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: many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind
the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
IDIOT SIGHTINGS
Sighting #1:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked,
"Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If it > was without
my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."
Idiot Sighting #2:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked if I knew
what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light is red.
She responded, appalled, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?"
Idiot Sighting #3:
At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who is leaving the
company due to "downsizing," our manager spoke up and said, "this is fun. We should have
lunch like this more often." Not another word was spoken. We just looked at each other
like deer staring into the headlights of an approaching truck.
Idiot Sighting #4:
I worked with an Individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the life of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
Idiot Sighting #5:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered
it was open. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!" "I know," answered the young
man.- "I already got that side." |
