    My wife sent this to me at work. Enjoy
    IDIOT SIGHTING:

    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.

    IDIOT SIGHTING:
    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 cannot 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.

    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."


    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."


    IDIOT 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. 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:
    We were having a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker, as 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.

    IDIOT SIGHTING:
    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.

    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.. 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!" His reply, "I know. I already got that side.

    IDIOT SIGHTINGS:
    When I left Hawaii and was transferred to Florida , I still had the Hawaiian plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii . I was parking somewhere (I can't remember) and a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from Hawaii to here?" I looked at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge". He nodded his head and said, "Cool"!

    They REPRODUCE... And they VOTE

    I got one...

    I was telling my girlfriend at the time a story about a friend, the friend worked at an Exxon Lube plant near by, and was in warehouse operations...I explained that basically meant he drives a forklift...i continued with my story, and while i was telling it to her i saw she lost interest and I could see a perplexed look on her face...when I finished the story, her response was..."Why does he drive a forklift, is that even legal? He should just get a car, that's dangerous."

    I never told her any different. :)

    Those are great...... this is MY true story....

    When I lived in upstate New York with my first wife on a October day we decided to take a fall ride on our motorcycle! It was an incredible day, the leaves had turned but not yet fallen so we just rode and rode and finally realized it was getting dark and we were about 50 miles from home. We were thinking we'd better head home now... then it's dusk... LORD it's cold, temperature dropped to around 40.... We were Freezin'!!! So we stopped to a Carol's drive in (Similar to McDonalds) and went in to warm up. Both had hot Choclate and felt way better. Went back outside and NOW it's even colder, still 30 miles to get home. I reached down and started the motorcycle and just to be a "wise guy".... I said to her....."Hey, Honey do you want me to turn the heater on?" Her response.... "I don't care IF you want too!!!"
    Know You all know.... it goes without saying..... She was a BLONDE!!!

    If you want to see a real idiot (with a larger caliber gun) tell Ron to post the email I sent him.
