good evening all.... here in Ridgecrest Ca...(aprox. 1.5 hrs SE of Death Valley CA) we are freezing... not like the rest of you... but we're in the gateway to hell and it's threatning to snow!!!
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.
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.
IDIOTS AT WORK: 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 SERVICE: This week, all our office phones went dead and I had to contact the telephone repair people. They promised to be out between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. When I asked if they could give me a smaller time window, the pleasant gentleman asked, "Would you like us to call you before we come?" I replied that I didn't see how he would be able to do that, since our phones weren't working. He also requested that we report future outages by email.
A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring. The older gent suggested the young one accompany him on his rounds so the community could become used to a new doctor.
At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach." The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"
As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman. How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?"
"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick."
"Huh," the younger doctor said, "Pretty clever. I think I'll try that at the next house."
Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with an elderly woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."
"You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps."
As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did you arrive at it?"
"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."
The pretty young Miss was having a tooth pulled and the dentist gave her the usual "This won't hurt a bit" routine before bending over her with a drill in his hand. He immediately drew back in complete alarm.
"Miss," he said in a barely audible whisper, "You have hold of my privates!"
"Yes, doc, I know," she smiled, "and we aren't going to hurt each other, are we?"
My kids can't remember cassetts, VHS or anything before PS 2's... lol I remember 45's, 8tracks, beta's... the huge lazer disc's (the greatgrandfather to cd's is how I explain it to my kids)... I remember leaded gas!
Ok, I have one for you then... is there an official name for a person that is like the character on "Ghost Whisperer" (please pardon the spelling)... I'll explain when everyone chimes in...
Ok... looked at some of the other forums... just to get an idea of what goes on here... I think I've got the basic idea... so here it goes.
Hello every one. I'm new to the dating scene. Divorced 3 years ago. Married someone I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with.... just not in re-hab (his addiction not mine). Realized that I can compete with a woman... but not his addiction... filed for divorce. I filled out the profile and have had very few responses... is it the horns, fangs and claws? Is it the fact that I know what I want and state it clearly? Do I come off "arrogently b@#chy"?... If anyone has advice or opinions... I'd love to hear them... Honestly!...
