AT SEARS: 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: 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 cross anymore."

"That's why we ask."

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 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 it it. We went to the
service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
drivers 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, "its open!" His reply, "I know, I already got that side." This was at
the Ford dealership

I think I know all of these people. I hope this disease is not contagious.

That's kind of frightening

Good stuff.
