  As Grandmother used to say

Got myself a new Jack Russell puppy, he's mainly black and brown 
with a small white patch, so I've named him Birmingham.

My budgie broke his leg today so I made him a little splint out of a 
couple of Swan Vesta's
his little face lit up when he tried to walk.. Unfortunately, I forgot to
 remove the sandpaper from the bottom of his cage.

A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day 
roaming around in Mexico.
 
While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious 
looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it 
look good, the smell was wonderful. 
 
He asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?'
 
The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those 
are called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this 
morning. A delicacy!'
 
The cowboy said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.' 
 
The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving 
per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come 
early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.'
 
The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that 
evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. 
After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and 
said, 'These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the 
ones I saw you serve yesterday.'
 
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Is, Senor.  Sometimes 
the bull wins.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears 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 
Sears made at that time a 1/2 horsepower.   He shook his head and said 
'lady you need a 1/4 horsepower.'  I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.  
He said 'NO it's not.'  Four is larger than two..'
               We haven't used Sears repair since. 
  
 

IDIOT SIGHTING
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave 
the clerk a $5 bill.  Our total was $4.25so I also handed her a quarter.  She said' 
you gave me too much money.'  I said 'Yes I know but this way you can just give 
me a dollar bill 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 quarter and said 'Were 
sorry but we cannot do that kind of thing.'  The clerk then proceeded to give me 
back $1 and 75 cents in change.
              Do not confuse the clerks at McD's. 
  
 

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area.  We recently had a new neighbour call the local township 
administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSI NG sign on our 
road.   The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this 
is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

IDIOT SIGHTING 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 lettuce.

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.  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 WichitaKS .. 
 

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 another word was spoken.   We all 
just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
           This was a lunch at Texas Instruments. 
 

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for 
the sake of her life couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.
           A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs 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 drivers side door.  As I watched from the passenger sideI 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 got 
that side.'
           This was at the Ford dealership in CantonMississippi

Two couples were playing poker  one evening. Jim accidentally 
dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent  down under 
the table to pick them up he noticed Bob's wife Sue wasn't 
wearing any underwear under her dress! Shocked by this Jim 
upon trying to  sit back up again hit his head on the table and 
emerged red-faced. 
 
Later Jim went to the kitchen to get  some refreshments. Bob's 
wife followed and asked' Did you see anything that  you like under 
there?' Surprised by her boldness Jim admitted that well  indeed he 
did. She said' Well you can have it but it will cost you £500.' 
 
After taking a minute or two to assess  the financial and moral 
costs of this offer Jim confirms that he is  interested. 
 
Sue told him that since her husband  Bob worked Friday afternoons 
and Jim didn't Jim should be at her house   around 2 p.m. Friday 
afternoon. 
 
When Friday  rolled around Jim showed up at Bob's house at 2 p..m. 
sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of £500 - they went to 
the bedroom and closed their  transaction as agreed. 
 
Jim quickly dressed and  left. 
 
As usual Bob came home from work at 6  p.m. And upon arriving 
asked his wife: 'Did Jim come by the house this  afternoon?' 
 
With a lump in her throat Sue  answered 'Why yes he did stop by for 
a few minutes this afternoon.' Her  heart nearly skipped a beat when 
her husband curtly asked' And did he give  you £500?' 
 
Sue using her best poker face replied 'Well yes in fact he did give me 
£500.' 
 
Bob with a satisfied look on his face surprised his wife by saying 'He 
came by the office this morning and  borrowed £500 from me. He 
promised he'd stop by our house this afternoon on  his way home and 
pay me back.' 
 
Now THAT my  friends is a poker player
