Idiots Everywhere
IDIOTS AT WORK...
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.
ADVICE FOR IDIOTS...
An actual tip from page 16 of the HP "Environmental, Health & Safety Handbook for Employees: "Blink your eyelids periodically to lubricate your eyes."
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: Many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE...
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind the counter for "minimal lettuce. "He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
IDIOTS IN THE NEWS...
Buffalo Channel 4 News on October 20th,1999 informed its captivated audience that when selling their computer, the best way to erase the files on your computers hard drive is by drilling a hole in the drive its self! "By drilling a hole in the drive its self, you make it impossible for the new owner to get your files." No kidding, idiot!

Good morning everyboomie.
I posted that particular quote for one reason. I failed to find anything of significance after digging for 5 hours today at the sod farm. A sod day indeed, but I'm still excited to get a nuther chance to go out there soon.
You could not pay me enough money to sit out in the sun and shovel dirt around all day, and yet I'll happily do it for the opportunity to find a nice little point.
By now I've dug so much dirt that the gophers think I'm one of them. Today they named me an honorary gopher, and gave me a gold plated grub worm.
Speaking of grub worms, I dug one up today, and a gopher ran out and asked, "Are you going to eat that?", and he grabbed the grub and ran back to his hole.
My Thump day will be started with a trip to the park, and then a trip to Walmart. After that is anybody's guess.
Have a happy day everyone.
