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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 Chevy dealership in Rock Hill, SC!
