Idiot sighting

I  handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for  $400.00
I said "May I have large bills,  please"

She  looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are  the same
size."
When I got up off the floor I  explained it to her....


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
side  door. A s 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!'  His reply: 'I know. I  already got that
side  .  '

This  was at the Ford dealership in Canton ,MS

We 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.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave
the clerk a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a  quarter.
She  said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way
you can just give me a dollar bill  back.
She  sighed and went  to get the manager, who asked me  to repeat my
request.
I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said  'We're sorry but we
could not do that kind of thing.'
The  clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in  change. 
 
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

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.'

>From Kingman , KS  



IDIOT   SIGHTING 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 lettuce.

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 , A la.



IDIOT  SIGHTING
The  stoplite on the corner buzzes when it's 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.
A ppalled, 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 co-worker who 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 lunch at Texas   Instruments.

I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not
turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.

How would you pronounce this child's name?
"Le-a"
Leah??                 NO
Lee -  A ??            NOPE
Lay -  a??              NO
Lei??           Guess A gain.
This child attends a school in Kansas City , Mo.
Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
It's pronounced "Ledasha".
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said,
"the dash don't be silent."

SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember
to pronounce the dash.  
If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.

Amazingly enough...this doesn't surprise me one bit. They be some really smart folks werkin there....
They prolly had to call for a repairman to come in, survey the sicheeyashun, plug it in co-rectaly, and then charge the county $2300 to "Re-wire/repair power conduit to electrical voltage limiting safety device"......Ermm

And ya'll thought all the morons were in Washington DC....Pig
