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, Ala.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to
cross the street. I was crossing with an intellect- ually challenged
coworker of mine whe n 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...

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.

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 office no less.)

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, Mississippi!
**** They walk among us. ... AND THEY REPRODUCE!!! ******
