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, AL.

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 was
a probation officer in Wichita, KS. This one might be a blond!

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a goodbye 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
Department no less. And this one might be a blond too!

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, MS!
