*Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.' The next day someone stole it.*

*One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted . . . 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said . . . 'where???'*

*** While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.' *

**** My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'.*

*** I told the girl at the steakhouse register that I wanted the half kilogram sirloin. She informed me they only had an 500g sirloin. Not wanting to make a scene, I told her I would take the 500g steak instead of the half-kg.*

**** My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the boot . . .*

*** My friends and I were on a Lager run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount . . . *

*** I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, 'Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?' I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned . . . *

*** I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, 'Has your plane arrived yet?' *

*** While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.*

Even worse than all this is the people that get paid to make our lives miserable. I'm helping build a gas station in San Antonio. We've been waiting to get power from the city to the jobsite.
We cannot get any of our final inspections without power.
Last weds. they set the power pole and said they'd be out to set the transformer in 3-5 working days.
Apparently that's working days for CPS. (City public services,) which is at least 5-10 real working days.
And then 3-5 days after that they will set meters and give up power.
Today...a week and a day after they set the pole... the supervisor stopped by in his truck. Followed by two boom trucks. (Big trucks with cranes and buckets.) And a big flatbed with, low and behold!, a transformer.
The supervisor for CPS gets out of the truck and tells us he's just there to look at things, because they have an emergency to go deal with.
They spend a half hour standing in our parking lot talking and then take off without warning.
In the time they sat there, four trucks and 8 employees of CPS, they could have installed everything we needed.
The Bexar Met water Dept. is just as bad if not worse. We are currently being held up by a $3 dollar fee. And we went down there yesterday at until closing to pay all the fees and sort out all their holdups!!!!!
Add to that two holiday weeks, the vendors for the store showing up to stock before the building can be occupied, and the store and district managers for the store hanging around....
At elast I know that when I pay my utility bills, the money is going to good use
THEY NOT ONLY WALK AMONG US, REPRODUCE AND VOTE, THEY'RE IN CONTROL OF OUR WATER AND ELECTRICITY!!!!!
