    Subject: Idiots everywhere......


    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 Brimingham, Ala.
    _______________________________________________
    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 when 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

    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-hea! dlights 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!
