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.

IDIOT SIGHTING: 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: 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 ,

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?!"

IDIOT SIGHTING: 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
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 drivers 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
