a bit of humour for your Friday!

IDIOT SIGHTING:


My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 note.

Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.'

I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin 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 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'

The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.



Do not confuse the people at MacD's.



IDIOT SIGHTING:


We had to have the garage door repaired.

The 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 made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.

He shook his head and said, '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.'


We haven't used that repairman since. Happened in Ipswich , Qld.



IDIOT SIGHTING:


I live in a semi rural area.

We recently had a new neighbour call the local council P & W office to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road.

 The reason: 'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'



Story from Collingwood, Melbourne.



IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:

My daughter went to a Mexican takeaway 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. From Bankstown , Sydney .....

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.'

This happened in Elizabeth S.A.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

The pedestrian light 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 beeper 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 is a government employee in Adelaide P.O.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a service, 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 technician, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'

STAY ALERT! They walk among us...

Making up for lost time!

I have decided to do daily Monday - Friday posts as from... you guessed it.. today! I think that if we wait until something happens that's "blogworthy" we'd be waiting forever. Where as if we force ourselves to think of something on a daily basis, it not only saves us from procrastination but also makes us realise how many truly great things happen each day, no matter how tiny! If something puts a smile on your face, then it is a truly spectacular moment indeed!

Inkscape

I was looking for drawing freeware online a while back (because I'm cheap like that! ;) and I came across a programme called Inkscape... OH EM GEE! it totally changed my life! Anyone out there wanting to dip their toes in the crystal clear, warm tropical waters of design absolutely has to, has to HAS TO check it out! There are so many tutorials available on the internet, it's so easy to use and the results are simply amazing. I felt I would be doing an injustice to the world if I didn't share this with you :D click here to download the magic! then once you're setup, try this really great tutorial and be amazed!

David Guetta

Does he make any mistakes? ever?! In my humble opinion its non-stop pumping anthems all year, and he has such a distinct sound, I love it! His new one, 'where them girls at', is growing on me so fast!

a bit of humour?

In an alcohol factory the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.

A drunkard with ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.  The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.

They tested him.

They gave him a glass with a drink. He tried it and said, "It's red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."

"That's correct", said the boss.

Another glass.  "It's red wine, cabernet, eight years old, a south western slope, oak barrels."

"Correct."

The director was astonished.  He winked at his secretary to suggest something.

She brought in a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it.  "It's a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month. And if you don't give me the job, I'll also tell who's the father!"
