Laughter is Good for You

Laughter is good for you....

If you have ever heard Bill Engvall's "Here's your sign" and if you are like me it provides me with a much needed chuckle. I have to believe that there are some people who speak without giving thought to what is coming out of their mouths. Listening to some of these people will cause you to shake your head and smile to yourself. My girlfriend Michelle shares my warped sense of humor. She sent me some of her favorite "Idiot Sightings", I have no idea where she gets this stuff but it sure makes me laugh. So if you enjoy some idiotic sayings I would like to share with you some that I have found to be hilarious:

1. Idiot sighting: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Apparently so appalled at the idea she blurts out "What on earth are blind people doing driving...." Here is your sign

2. Idiot sighting: At a goodbye 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 a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other at the utter stupidity of this man. So to our manager "Here is your sign"

3. Idiot Sighting: I worked with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her she could not understand why the power refused to go on. To my co-worker "Here's your sign"

4. Idiot Sighting: My husband and I took our car to the dealership to have some work accomplished. We arrived there to pick up our car in the afternoon. 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 the door opened. I then turned to the mechanic and said "You know that this door is open?" he replied earnestly, "Of course I know I already got that side to work..." To this mechanic "Here's your sign"

5. Idiots Sighting: 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 off of are our. His reason ..."too many deer were being hit by cars and he didn't want them to cross there anymore..." oh Dear God "Here's your sign..."
