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." 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 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: 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.

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!

Not sure someone working at Taco Bell would be considered a "Chef".

Understood, but have found "titles" are given in lieu of salary....stopped at a Hardees this week and the guy that waited on us had a name tag that identified him as General Manager.

When I need cash, instead of using an ATM, I usually write a check to myself and cash it at a supermarket branch of the bank at which I have the checking account. Three times during the past year after presenting the check (and my driver's license for ID), I have been asked by the teller if I had an account at the bank. The checks have my name address and phone number imprinted on them, have the bank's name and routing numbers imprinted on them on them, and are written to me by me and endorsed by me. My standard response is "Have you looked at the check?" and then ask "If the bank's examination of financial documents is so superficial, is my money safe in your bank?"

Why does the drive-up ATM have braille on its keys?

"If the bank's examination of financial documents is so superficial, is my money safe in your bank?"

Along that line, several months ago I prepared and printed 10 checks on the PC and forgot to sign them. Every company accepted them and every bank in the line of process accepted them. I've read articles about experiments where people signed their checks A. Hitler, Mighty Mouse, Donald duck, Frankenstein's Monster, etc., etc. and all of them flowed right on through.

At my last location, Paradise/Butte Co. Ca.
The area was full of them.
Either a holding area for village idiots, an anomoly in the earth's magnetic field, or UFO interference.
Possibly a combination thereof!
