Sorry, I nodded off just a bit.

My cheeseburger happy meal isn't settling well.

I can't slam PA, my dad is from there. He'd know I trash talked it somehow, and then guilt me into next year.

Don't be too hard on the poor little creatures. They perform a useful economic function after all.

If not for them, people in Nigeria wouldn't be able to free millions of dollars locked away in Swiss bank accounts. None of the businesses that run half hour commercials late at night would make any money. Christ! Microsoft would go out of business! (Sorry. That's the MacAddict in me speaking. )

And think of the political ramifications. Politicians would have to run on clear philosophical ideas and actual policies, rather than image as they do now.

So these people do have some use.

No, Pennsylvania Dutch.

I thought for sure that you were talking about me, so I came to visit, but alas I can finally say with confidence, and with the words of Yoda: SANS IDIOT, I AM.

GOOD GOD! ROFL. How do these people live!

Got this email and had to share:






They walk among us


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. This one was from Kingman, KS.
_____________________________________
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. And he was a Kansas City chef!
_____________________________________
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." Happened in Birmingham, Ala.
_____________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine when 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: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker 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 with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
_____________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip Back into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's 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'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, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

I always talk about you.

Apparently they live very well when they should be clubbed like baby seals.

I know - hence the joke.

When I was a kid I thought he was serious. (I was so gullible.)

Now MY kids, of course, see right through the grampa Bull Shit.

I'm so proud.

adults who lie to kids are the best.

my uncle gave my brother a gourd and told him it was an aardvark egg. we wrapped it up in a towel to keep it warm and waited (skeptically) for weeks for it to hatch, just in case....

I just scared the cat!

Too funny!

Bwah!

(Hey Abs - how come so many of them thar idiot people were from Kansas? We ain't all hicks, ya know!)

It isn't that there is a proliferation of idiocy in Kansas, it's that the intolerance of idiocy is so high that it's pointed out frequently. I've found idiots to be spread about equallly throughout the country, however, I've met more people in Kansas with little or no tolerance to idiots.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't utter the phrase "fucking idiot" at least a half a dozen times.

Sometimes, I'm proud to be from Kansas.

I'm not a native of Kansas, I just play one on TV.

But my children were born here, and here I stay.


As long as there are idiots . . .ah, never mind. Can't think of a good ending quote.

I grew up where I live. However, my dad's side came to Kansas from Lancaster County, PA. Relatives still there.

And as long as there are idiots, I refuse to tolerate them. (One of my few prejudices.)

You know I've said the same thing.

Several years ago my daughter asked me if I was prejudiced. She'd just learned the word at school, I imagine.

My reply? That hopefully I didn't have many, but I did know for certain that I was prejudiced against stupid people.

if somewhere a cat is scared, then my day is complete.

That's not unique to Kansas, however!


I live in Greater Manchester, UK (so called because of it's greater proliferation of idiots compared with the rest of the UK... except Liverpool *winces automatically from the anticipated backlash*)

An example:

I used to work in a Bookshop where one of my colleagues had this brief, unconsidered exchange with a customer:

CUSTOMER: Do you have branches in other towns?

COLLEAGUE: Do you know who wrote it?
