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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
