They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail
I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was Educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back, same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.

I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said 'buy one-get one free.' 'They're already buy-one-get-one-free,' she said, 'so I guess they're both free'. She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door.


They Walk Among Us!
One day I was walking down the beach with some Friends when one of them shouted, 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked Up at the sky and said, 'Where'?


They Walk Among Us!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real Estate agent which direct ion was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff.'

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, 'The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.' He responded, 'Is that Eastern or Pacific time?' Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, 'Uh, Pacific.'

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.


They Walk Among Us!
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, 'has your plane arrived yet?'


They Walk Among Us!
While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.'

Yep, They Walk Among Us! They Walk Among Us, and they Reproduce, and Worst of all…… THEY VOTE!

Yeah sadly the world is full of people that make Forrest Gump look like a genius. I was just listening to a tv show discussing the limiting of voting rights. Wish they would make an IQ test a prerequisite to voting, or atleast a test on the policies of the candidates. Before you can get a driver's license you have to pass a test about driving. Before you can get citizenship, you have to pass a test about the history of the country. Why not require something similar for something as important as voting too?

1. isn't voter turn out low enough already?

2. If the candidates themselves don't even know what their policies are (I know this because they never provide an actual answer when asked), how is the voting public supposed to know?

This is actually on my ballot this year:

The ballot this year will contain a proposed Constitutional Amendment, relating to the qualifications of electors.



Constitutional Amendment Question:



Shall the following amendment to the Constitution be adopted:



Summary: Changes the language that describes a person who cannot legally vote from “idiot or insane person” to “a person adjudged mentally incompetent to vote.”

I'm voting no.

Yeah, I distinctly recall the pizza one being attributed to Yogi Berra. Some of these might have been Samuel Goldwyn-isms too.
