I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the
clerk noticed 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 I had just signed on the receipt. So I
signed the credit card In front of her. She carefully compared the
signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it,
they matched.
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
Koala Crossing sign on our road. The reason: too many Koala's were being
hit by cars and she didn't want them to cross there anymore.

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?" She smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the
street. I was crossing with a co-worker 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?"

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who is 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 Cow-in-the-headlights stare.

I work with an individual who plugged her power board back into
itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would
not turn on.

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."
