...and these people vote?

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which

direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking

him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?"

When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, (and has always done so since creation), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.". . . . She also votes!

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got

a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open.

I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call

quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific." .. . . He also votes!.

So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we

overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn

she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a

convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was

moving".

Yep, she also votes!

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a

seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk . . . My sister

also votes!

My friends and I stopped to purchase a couple cases of Coca Cola for a

party and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big

party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount. He also votes!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring

attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain

rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

My friend also votes!

My wife and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub shop last week and she asked the clerk which of two sandwiches was better. The clerk didn't have an opinion but did say that the first sandwich was more

expensive. My wife got a quizzical look on her face and asked, "If that's

the case, why are they both listed with the same price on the menu?" To this, the clerk responded, "I don't think we add tax to the turkey." The clerk also votes!

This one is a real 'clinger'......

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the

lost luggage office and told the lady attendant there that my bags never

showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

Yep, she is another one that also votes!

Very interesting BR! Kind of scary too these people do vote.

We had a customer come in Friday for a scheduled oil change and to winterize her car. Did all the work to her car, I phoned her that it was done, she came to pick it up. I explained to her what we all did and in the next breathe she said..."do I need to take my car back to the Dealership for the oil change?" Yep...she votes too!

Even scarier than the fact that they vote is the fact they truly exist.

It just goes to show that not everyone is intelligent about everything. No one can possibly know it all. Some of us do have better smarts in our heads than others, though. And no one will ever understand why a turkey will drown itself in the rain, looking up at the sky with its mouth open...

Back in my twenties (when we knew everything - right) I use to have inward fits over some of the stupid things people did and said. My friend would try and calm me by saying "Remember, 98% of the population is less intelligent than we are." I thought she was just being an intellectual snob, but with stories like these, one has to wonder...................

I really like this thought. I shall think of it when next I am annoyed with the abounding stupidity that tends to surround us.
