Things That Really Happened

July 22nd 2008 23:39

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

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi.

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 they 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.



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 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.
From Kansas City



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 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?!'
She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS




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 lunch at Texas Instruments.





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

Positive Gestures

July 17th 2008 07:05
Curtsey
When you meet royalty such as the Queen, a lady should curtsy to show deference.
Kowtow
To show the utmost of respect, an attempt to kowtow leaves no doubt as to your degree of respect.
Wai
In several Asian countries, the Wai is used to show deference to a person or place.
Eskimo Kiss
It is sometimes considered the ultimate show of friendship to rub your noses together. Supposedly, this is an Eskimo gesture.
A OK
Use the A OK sign to show your approval of something.
High Five
Good friends or team mates often use High Five as a congratulatory gesture.
Fist Bump
One of the latest gestures to catch on is the fist bump. It seems to carry about the same message as the High Five.

It's a small place. The entire country covers only around one hundred square miles. It is a tropical paradise, at least it is tropical even if not exactly paradisical.

No shopping malls, no good surfing sites, no horseback riding since the pastures are missing, beaches are not the best in the world. In fact, water at the shore quickly drops off to deep spots.

What's This Thing Called?

July 7th 2008 05:09
Yes, it's an animal of some kind, but we never see any of them alive nowadays.

One old song says that the reason we don't see them now is that they were mischievous during the loading of Noah's Ark and did not get on the boat. They all perished.

FREE USA Land

July 4th 2008 05:11
FREE Land
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has approved this giveaway of land in any of the fifty states of the United States of America.

Choose the state or states in which you would like to be a landowner. Any of the fifty states, or all of them, are open for the gifts of free land. Just think how your friends would howl with envy when you announce that you own land in every one of the USA states.

A Few BLOND Jokes

Open the hood, Blondie.

We all know that we are not supposed to pick on ethnic groups. It is not nice or respectful. That is why I am not printing Polock jokes here.

What is the Best Car Color?

June 27th 2008 08:53
One of the last times I was in the market for a car, the salesman asked what color I wanted. It was easier to tell him what color I did not want. "I don't want red," I told him. After we discussed other issues about the car, he said, "You can have any color you want, as long as it is red. That is what we have the most of."

No, I did not buy from him.

Collect Telephone Calls

June 26th 2008 00:06
Do you know what are the biggest days of the year for receiving collect telephone calls? Here is a list of the top three:

3. Third biggest day for getting collect calls is Valentine's Day. How thoughtful is your darling to remember you on the special "Love Day"! Can you imagine the phone ringing and the operator telling you, "You have a collect call from your girlfriend. Will you accept the charges?"

Slain Missionary's Mother

Fun Missionary Photo


As I studied material about the death of Bill McChesney in the Belgian Congo in 1964, I was anticipating an interview with Aldine McChesney, Bill’s mother. She had written a book entitled Through Congo Shadows, Story of the Life and Martyrdom of Bill McChesney in the Congo. My job as a writer for a local Phoenix newspaper was to get human interest material for our newspaper’s readers

Thanks for reading my blog. It appears that you are into trivia, too.

I am not aware of the bird you mentioned. What is its name?

A little pleasure can do so much to relieve one's stress levels. Yes, it seems like a lot of expense in such an atmosphere. However, I suspect that the Disney company can afford a medium sized park to reward the citizens of this misused country for their misery.

Hopefully, the entrance fee will be such that the needy people can afford to go it. If only the wealth can afford it, why bother?

on No snakes, reptiles

Let's read the original blog entry, People! Snakes or reptiles, Artarctica, continent....

Thanks for commenting. If you consider that birds are descendants of dinosaurs, you would be right. Penguins are birds, maybe with dinosaurs as ancestors, in that case, you win & I lose.

Your comments are all in fun, I think, and I appreciate them.

Hi there. I am, in a sense, a competitor of yours but not actually competing. I am trying to get more people to read my material.

I have been looking at your site for some time and feel that I see a mature (or at least a maturing) Christian writing here. I appreciate your point of view usually.

Keep up the good work.

If you buy into that story, he did.

However, the question was which continent has no snakes or reptiles.

Thank you for reading my blog. I really do appreciate it a lot.

Thank you to everyone who commented on this situation. I do appreciate it a lot. I must go back to adsense and see if I can filter out some bad ads.

That dew claw is a regular trait of this breed of dog. They are a good dog for kids as they are friendly and even tempered. Thanks for your comment.

on What Color are Lobsters?

May 16th 2008 22:11
Thanks for the comment. I have had people ask if this is for real as they have never seen a blue lobster. As you can vouch for me, lobsters and their crawfish cousins are sometimes blue in color. Please return often for new items I post.

on Tangerine (or ponkan) grown from a seed.

I wish I knew. I was hoping that some pinoy person with experience would tell me. If it is like mango, it will be five years old before bearing fruit. Thanks for reading my blog.

My best to you.
