Free Laugh - Idiots
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 responded 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 the McDonald's take-out window and 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 cannot do that kind of thing. The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.
IDIOT 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 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 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.
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 replied, If it was without my knowledge, how would I know? He smiled knowingly and nodded, That's why we ask.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stop-light on the corner buzzes 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 buzzer 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?
--She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS .
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I attended a "good-bye" luncheon for an old and dear co-worker. She 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 Sheriffs office, no less.
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 announced to the technician, it's open! His reply, I know. I already got in that side.
--This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , MS ...
IDIOT:
When I left Hawaii and was transferred to FL, I still had the Hawaiian plates on my car , as my car was shipped from Hawaii. I was parking somewhere (I can't remember) and a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from Hawaii to here?" I looked at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge ." He nodded his head and said "Cool!"
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us...
and they VOTE...
and they REPRODUCE...

Free Laugh - The Good Grandpa
Meanwhile, Gramps is working his way around, saying in a controlled voice, "Easy, Albert, we won't be long -- easy, boy."
Another outburst, and she hears Gramps calmly say, "It's okay, Albert, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here... Hang in there, boy."
At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart, and Gramps again in a controlled voice is says, "Albert, Albert, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, Albert."
Very impressed, the woman goes outside where Gramps is loading his groceries and the boy into the car.
"You know, sir, it's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time, you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive your grandson got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. Albert is very lucky to have you as his Grandpa."
"Thanks, lady," said Gramps, "I'm Albert -- this little bastard's name is Steve."

Thoughts for the Day - 10 Things to Do Every Day
Wake Up Early
Set your alarm for around two in the morning; you’ll get more work done when there’s no one up to get in your way. Reward yourself with a quick bump of crystal meth to get you going.
-
Make a List
If you followed step one you should be able to finish up by seven or eight o’clock.
-
Stop and Smell the Roses
But only the ones with prime numbered petals.
-
Do Something Nice for Another Person
Or not.
-
Read
You have already completed this requirement by reaching this far down the list.
-
Watch the Sun Set
Sunset is a much better time to watch the sun than High Noon. Conscious awareness of the approaching evening will remind you that there are only five hours until you get up tomorrow morning.
-
Exercise
Beating mimes is a great way to work cardio and upper body strength. Don’t forget to kick them while they’re down to get at your quads.
-
Eat Right
Don’t eat McDonald’s more than once a week; instead, be sure to mix up the restaurants you visit. Remember to eat Burger King, Taco Bell, and Arby’s in order to get a well balanced diet. Also donuts.
-
Laugh
Do it. Or a kitten dies.
-
Meditate/Contemplate the Day
In whatever way best suits you, take a moment to reflect on your life experience in order to absorb and appreciate the gift that has been bestowed upon you. Be it through a hot bath, an evening puff on the ol’ tobacco pipe, or listening to the screams from your basement waft and mingle with the scents of hot apple pie, any way you choose to honor your day is just fine.

Thoughts for the Day - 12 Things to Live By
Instead trust those people whose feelings remain the same, even when the time changes...
2. We make them cry who cares for us. And we care for those who will never cry for us.
This is the truth of life, its strange but true. Once you realize this, its never too late to change.
3. Never explain yourself to anyone. Because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.
4. Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life...
Relationships work only when the are balanced.
5. Don't write you name in sand, waves well wash it away. Don't write you name in sky, wind may blow it a way. Write you name in hearts of people you come in touch with. That's where it will stay.
6. Whatever you give to life, it gives you back. Do not hate anybody. The hatred which comes out from you will someday comeback to you. Love others, and love will comeback to you.
7. For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else. It is about your outlook toward life. You can either regret or rejoice.
8. The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you , it's when you don't understand yourself.
9. Arrow goes forward only after pulling in the backward. Bullet goes forward only after pressing the trigger backward. Every human being well get happy only after facing the difficulties in their life path... So do not afraid to face you difficulties. They will push you forward .
10. Remember you are born to live. Don't live because you are born!
Don't go the way life takes you... Take life the way you go!!
11. What we are today is result of our own past actions;
Whatever we wish to be in future depends on our present actions;
Decide how you have to act now. We are responsible for what we are, whatever we wish ourselves to be, We have the power to make ourselves.
12. Those who anger you, control you. Let it go.

14 Things to be Grateful for in Your Life
Most people agree that being grateful is important if we are to have a positive life. Being grateful makes we see the bright side of life that turns us into positive people.
Unfortunately, we often look at what we don’t have instead of what we have, and we end up complaining instead of being grateful. Do you know what the #1 enemy of being grateful is? The #1 enemy of being grateful is taking something for granted. Taking something for granted makes we forget how miserable it would be if we didn’t have it.
Sometimes we need to experience a loss to be able to appreciate what we have.
I don’t know about you, but I would better not wait until that happens; we should learn to appreciate the things we have without first experiencing a loss. So here I’d like to share 14 simple things to be grateful for in your daily life. While perhaps not all of them apply to you, I believe there are more that apply than don’t. Here they are:
1. You live in peace
If you read war time stories, you will realize how terrible the situation was. Lives were lost so easily. Pain, suffering, and poverty were everywhere. That we live in peace is a great blessing.
2. You have your loved ones
Many people lose their loved ones. Many people don’t even know their father and mother. So be grateful if you have yours.
3. You have good friends
Good, caring friends are something that not everyone has.
4. You are healthy
Sometimes we need to be sick to understand the blessing of being healthy. Have you experienced being sick? I have, and it makes me realize how good being healthy is.
5. You have enough financially
Don’t believe me? Go to Global Rich List and prove it yourself.
6. You live in hygienic environment
In the past, life expectancy was very low – it was only 20-35 years in most of the human history. The main cause was not war but unhealthy environment (coupled with poor medical technologies). Now you have far better environment to live in.
7. You live in an age of medical breakthroughs
Besides having better environment, now you have much better medical technologies. Just a simple example: you have anesthetic. Can you imagine going through surgery without anesthetic? That’s how people did it for thousands of years.
8. You have electricity
Having electricity is so simple that we forget how our life would be without it. Just take a moment to imagine it. You will perhaps lose 90% of your conveniences if that happened.
9. Your computer works properly
Have you ever experienced turning on your computer only to find that it didn’t work and the data were gone? I have, and it was frustrating.
10. You can communicate in an instant
In the past, letter took months to arrive, if at all. Now you can send an email or an instant message and get it delivered in seconds.
11. You have abundant entertainment options
Even kings in the past didn’t have a fraction of what you have now. You have television, movies, and electronic games, just to name a few.
12. You live in an age of instant knowledge transfer
You can learn anything you want instantly through the Internet. In the past people might have to travel thousands of miles to find the right libraries.
13. You can travel quickly and conveniently
Your car is more convenient than past royal transport for one simple reason: shock absorber. And you can travel around the world in hours instead of months or years like Magellan and Columbus.
14. You have good law in place
Before good law codes (like Code of Hammurabi) were introduced, anybody could do anything they wanted and there was virtually no protection of rights. Now you can feel safe and protected.
These 14 things are simple, but our life would be miserable without them. And I’m sure there are still many more things I don’t cover here. So learn to appreciate what you have and you will realize what a great life you have.

What Not to Do at a Job Interview...
Can you believe they actually did this?
....stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application.
....wore an i-Pod and told the HR person she couldn't listen to her and the music at the same time.
....a balding candidate abruptly excused himself, and returned to the office a few minutes later wearing a hairpiece.
....asked to see the interviewer's resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate.
....announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer's office -- wiping the ketchup on her sleeve.
....stated that if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.
....interrupted to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview questions.
....when I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.
....at the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, he went through my purse, took out a brush, brushed his hair and left.
Good Luck on that Job Search!!
