I was at the local Home Despot awhile back getting some materials for teh barn...

The kid that was "helping" me was SOOOOOOO clueless....
I finaly told him I needed 150 foot of west-style shoreline and asked if he could order it for me... 20 minutes later he tracked me down to tell me he and the manager had called their supplier, who told them it was only available in California........

I worked at the lumber counter at a small building supply store in college for a while. Guy came in and asked "How long are your 2x4 eights". Before I could think of something smart-alecky my friend working the counter with me said "96 inches". The guy said "Oh, you don't have any 8 footers?".

More than once, I have had people ask me if me truck was a diesel. My response to them was, "No, I have the rocker arms real loose so it would sound like a diesel. Diesels are to expensive." Now I did not have the door badges on my truck for over a year. HOWEVER, if you look, the windshield should tell you if you are deaf.

My brother, me, and my mother were in the store when I was little and my brother was acting awful, he ran away from her because he wanted something she told him he couldn't have. She drug him back over to the checkout and spanked him. As this was happening her coworker walked by and asked "is that your kid?"

Nope, thought he could use a whooping. Heres your sign.

The receptionist at our dentist's office called me at work this week. I answered the phone with my name and the company's name as usual. The receptionist said, "May I speak to your wife, please?" I told her that she had called my work number and that I was here in my office. The receptionist then said, "Well, is your wife there?"

Here's your sign!!!

Or, at a minimum, sterilized.

So one day, I walked into my office ( which has an opening looking into his office and our desks face each other ), sat down in my chair looked over at him and said " Good morning Bryan, " about 20 minutes later he looks over at me and says........." Hey Nick, when did you get here?" UHHHH Here's your sign!!!

I was working on a drawing in drafting class today. It was supposed to be in half scale. Kid came up to me and asked if the whole drawing was in half scale. I jokingly said nope part of it's in half scale and part of it's in full scale. He actually drew it and turned it in that way. .... Here's your sign.

I called one of those computer tech lines, it turned out real simple and I told the girl sorry for the stupid question, she said it wasn't stupid, she says I tell people "now hit any key", she says there is a long pause then " where's the any key?"
