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."
Happenedi n 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 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-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 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!
