DIMWITS at the airport: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, "Has
anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would
I know?" He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask." DIMWITS at work: I was signing
the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card.
She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that
it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed
the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have
it, they matched. DIMWITS 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:
Many deer were being hit by cars, and he no longer wanted them to cross there. DIMWITS in food service: My
daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind the counter for "minimal lettuce."
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. DIMWITS out walking: The stoplight on the corner buzzes
when it is safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked if
I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled,
"What on earth are blind people doing driving?" DIMWITS in the office: I worked with an Individual
who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
DIMWITS at the garage: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car,
we were told that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively tried the door
handle and discovered it was open. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!" "I know,"
answered the young man.- "I already got that side."
