IDIOT SIGHTING:
Hubby and I had to have the garage door repaired. The
Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not
have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said
that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He
shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that
1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two."
We haven't used Sears repair since.

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 are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good
place for them to be crossing anymore."

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.
He was a Chef?
Yep...From Kansas City !

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.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the street. I was crossing
with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. 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

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker: She was leaving the company
due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun.
We should do this more often." Not another 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:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealer-shi p 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, "Its open!" His
reply, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , Mississippi !
