*************************
IDIOT SIGHTING #1 McDonalds
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave
The clerk a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her
a twenty pence piece. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said,'Yes
I know, but this way you can just give me £1 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 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but we don't do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change..
IDIOT SIGHTING #2 Garador garage repairer
We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR 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 GARADOR
made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you
need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said,
'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two..'
IDIOT SIGHTING #3 Potters Bar, Herts , UK
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the Highways
Department to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think
this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING #4 Kentucky Fried
My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried 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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #5 Luton Airport
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?' He smiled
knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
IDIOT SIGHTING #6
The stoplight on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street. I was
crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She asked if
I knew what the beeping 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?!' .
IDIOT SIGHTING #7 St. Albans Ford Dealership
When my husband and I arrived at Our Local Ford dealer 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 Fitter/Mechanic,
'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'

GOLDY LOGS AND THE THREE PEARS.
Once upon a time, there was a little curl his name was goldy logs.
One day she went for a wart in the woods and this covered a little house.
As she was tied she not on the door and weighted.
Nobody asked her, associated a whale longer and then not the game.
Still nobody asked her, so she opened a door and wedding.
In the livid room there was a cable and three shares, - a little share and to pictures.
On the cable there were three blades of polish, two pig blades and once more played.
As she was angry, she sat down on the small share and tasted one of the pig blades.
It wasn’t swede enough, so she tried the other pig blade.
That was too swede, so she tried the small blade.
That was just right, associated all up.
Then she felt tied, so she went up stares to have a looker round.
There was a bird room with two big birds and one small bird.
She lay down on the big bird but that was too hard.
Then she laid down on the other big bird, but that was all so hard.
So she laid down on the small bird and that was just right, and she fell past a sleep.
While she was a sleep, in two the house came three pears –
A dandy pear a money pear and baby pear.
They sat down at the table to eat their polish.
The dandy pear said, hose bean eating my polish?
The money pear said, hose the meeting might orange?
The baby their said hose bin eating might orange, it saw gone!
Then they all went up to bet.
Dandy pear said sun bodies bean slipping in my bet.
Money pear said sun bodies bean slipping in my bet.
Baby pear dried out, look, a little curls father sleep in my bet.
Southerly, Goldy logs woke up, saw the three pears, and screened!
Then she jumped out of the bet, random the stairs and utter the house.
And she never wet in the woods again!
Wingeing Poms There's no-one like Brits for having a
little moan !
These were sent from Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guests'
complaints.
"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."
"On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."
"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."
A tourist at an African game lodge spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
"The beach was too sandy."
"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."
"We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."
"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."
"I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."
"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?" (Blondes?)
"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."
"We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."
"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."
"My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

"I would not be bothered if we lost every game as long as we won the league." Mark Viduka
"Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had." David Beckham

I wrote a poem dedicated to all shopping addicts everywhere
I Must Go Down to the Shops Again
I must go down to the shops again, to the lovely shops in the mall,
And all I ask is a Visa card so I can spend my all.
At the fashion shops and the jewellery store you'll find me if you try,
With a grey mist across my face as I see the latest buy.
I must go down to the shops again; for the call of the closing SALE
Is a wild call and a clear call that makes me go all pale;
I don't care if it's a windy day with the white clouds a-flying,
And I don't care if I'm soaked to the skin as long as I don't end up crying.
I must go down to the shops again, though my overdraft is mounting,
It's a girl's way and a woman's way, after all "Who's counting?"
And all I ask is I get there before the sale is done,
And I get that dress that I'm dreaming of, Oh! great! Isn't this fun!
