Joke of the Day
IDIOTS AT WORK
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase
when the clerk noticed I had never signed my name on the
back of the credit card.
She informed me that she couldn't complete the
transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked
why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the
signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed
the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared
the signature to the one I had just 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: Too many deer were being hit by cars and he
didn't want them to cross there anymore.
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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #1
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!"
IDIOT SIGHTING #2
The stop light 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?"
IDIOT SIGHTING #3
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who
was leaving the company due to down-sizing. 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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #4
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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #5
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."
NOW, DON'T YOU FEEL A LITTLE SMARTER?!!!

Thought of the Day
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity, is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
