They Walk Among Us!

From (who else?) Aunt Johnnie! It's about the not-so-bright things people will say & do:

  • Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of the old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it." For 3 days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice. The owner eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this deal, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale - $50." The next day someone stole it.
  • One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when somebody shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said..."Where?"
  • While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" My brother explained that the sun rises in the east and has done for some time. She shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with all that stuff..."
  • My colleague and I were eating our lunch in the cafeteria at work when we overheard an admin girl talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but said she "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."
  • My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. The tool is designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps the tool in the trunk!
  • I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose-ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Ouch! The chain must rip out every time she turns her head!" I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.
  • I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. I went to the Lost Luggage office to make a report. The woman there 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?"
  • 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. The man thought about it for some time before he replied, "Just cut it into 4 pieces. I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."
Warning: They walk among us!
