IDIOT SIGHTING I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00 I said, "May I have large bills, please." She looked at me and said, "I'm sorry sir, but all the bills are the same size."
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 side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I said to the technician, 'It's open!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.' This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS.
IDIOT SIGHTING 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 said 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 My daughter and I went through a fast food take-out window. I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25; so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'You gave me too much money.'I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.' She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said, 'We're sorry, but we could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.
IDIOT SIGHTING 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 lettuce. -- From Kansas City
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 said, '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. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I said that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she said, '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 co-worker who 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 lunch at Texas Instruments.
IDIOT SIGHTING I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less.
One day I was driving along, minding my own business and I happened to glance into the car next to me. There was a woman putting on make-up while she was driving! She had the sun viser pulled down, using the mirror on the back of it. Her eyes were mostly on the mirror. once in awhile, she would look at the road and correct her drifting car. At one point, she weaved into my lane. My first instinct was to grab the steering wheel and move over. That maneuver caused me to drop my electric razor, which fell into the coffee cup between my legs. Hot coffee spilled on my lap and I jumped up spilling coffee all over the newspaper on the steering wheel and all over my lap. In all the confusion, I dropped my cell phone and broke it. And that was an important call. Those darn women drivers.

Sorcha Faai aka David Booth. Well Conrad it says here that this party does NOT believe the plane landed in Diego Garcia So much for believing that this person dreamed it all up. No different sources say so that is where the plane landed...

Never heard of Sorcha Faal before but just looked it up. In all the sources about the missing plane no article showed that it came from Sorcha Faal. Where do you base it on that you believe he is the one telling lies?
You are not being lied to at all. You're just believing idiotic theories.
Yes, the plane could have made it to DG, but why?
Much of the why's you would have found out if you Googled it. Watched the videos ext. Several different sources........... Many questions would have given you an answser.
It is difficult to believe that a goverment could be behind it. It really is about 20 people on board. Security for the country. In the all about money, lots and lots of it and yes security.
Strange how you can accept the facts that a plane just disappeared and not any debri has been found. What I have read, from several different sources, makes sense!
Your doing fine Serene! I know it is not easy. I quit several times in the past, four weeks, 6 month, still went back everytime I hit a stressful time. Would at first borrow, did not want to buy a pack as I knew I would fail again. Friends would then tell me, you did not quit, you just cut back.......
Don't know how much sigarettes cost in your country, here in Canada,$100.00 + a carton Always promised myself to put the money away that I would have spend had I kept smoking. I never did save the money. Did anyone? Figure this one a two pack a day, = 6 cartons a months, Hello???
I have a friend who quite smoking but when going on a vacation he will smoke one pack that week and won't touch them the rest of the year. I know for sure this would not work for me.
Good for you, keep at it you have passed the most difficult part. the nicotine is now out of your body but it is the mental part that you have to get used to now.
I feel lucky that I did not end up with emphysema. I was born at home, my dad smoked and just about everyone I knew, smoked. My ex mother in law worked at a tobaco factory, never smoked but ended up with nicotine poison.
I amoked the last few years two packs a day. Quit cold turkey. This was in '84. I still would not trust myself to smoke even one sigarette. I remember when I quit before, the first sigarette tasted awful but the second was already better and I kept trying how stupid eh?
Some of you had quit smoking but I just realized not hearing anything more about it. Have you started smoking again? Come on, if you did go back, how about trying again?
Auto Worker Had $50 Million Worth of Stolen Art Hanging In His Kitchen for Nearly 40 Years Danielle Wiener-Bronner 225 Share

(REUTERS/TONY GENTILE) Presented by Italy's cultural heritage police recovered two stolen works of art from the home of a Fiat employee, who bought the valuable masterworks at an auction of lost-and-found train items in 1975. The man, who police described as a lover of art, reportedly purchased the two items for somewhere around $30 in 1975, and was allegedly unaware that they were stolen ... or that they're worth about $50 million today. Call it the ultimate (unintentional) heist. The paintings, Paul Gaugin's "Still Life of Fruit on a Table With a Small Dog" and the lesser-known Pierre Bonnard's "The Girl With Two Chairs," were stolen from the U.K. home of Sir Mark Kennedy and his wife in 1970. The original burglary was pulled off in the most British way possible: Three thieves dressed as "burglar alarm engineers" asked the couple's housekeeper to make them a cup of tea, and escaped with the paintings while she was in the kitchen. They were apparently later abandoned on a train from Paris to Turin, and eventually sold to the auto worker at a lost property auction. He then displayed him in his kitchen in Turin for nearly forty years before taking them with him to his retirement home in Sicily. "Good job, us." REUTERS/Tony GentileA spokesman for Italy's Art Theft Squad told ABC News that police learned of the painting's whereabouts when the man's son started advertising them for sale, adding that "he did so in good faith, as he did not know they were stolen. That is when we became aware of them and started researching." According to the BBC, "the worker only grew suspicious about their origins when his son saw another Gauguin in a book and noticed similarities with the painting in his father's kitchen." It seems like a pretty fortuitous find, but Italy's police took full responsibility for the discovery. "It's an incredible story, an amazing recovery. A symbol of all the work which Italian art police have put in over the years behind the scene," said Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini. The rightful owners of the painting are both deceased, and have no heirs who could take possession of the works. Also: Italian law may allow the man's family to keep the painting if they can prove he bought it in good faith, so it's possible the worker could end up regaining custody of the art. But the works are being kept in a police safe... for now.
Hi Scott my husband's hair is long up to his collar. Don't cut it real short you would not like it if the change is too much. You can always go shorter later............ Do you have a picture without your mustache? Lol how do you spell that one??? Wonder how you would look without it??
The Italian Tomato Garden An old Italian man lived alone in the country. It was Spring and he wanted to dig his tomato garden, as he had done every year, but it was very hard work for the aging man as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was currently in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If only you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love Dad
A few days later he received a letter from his son:
Dear Dad, Not for nothing, but don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the bodies Love Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived at the old man's house and dug up the entire area. However, they didn't find any bodies, so they apologized to the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Vinnie
