SIGNS FOR THE STUPID
Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say,
"I'm Stupid". That way you wouldn't rely on them would
you? You wouldn't ask them anything. It would be like,
"Excuse me...oops, never mind. I didn't see your
sign."
It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was
full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our
driveway. My friend comes over and says "Hey, you
moving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or
twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here's
your sign."
A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of
mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up
this big old stringer of bass and this idiot on the
dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?" "Nope -
Talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."
I was watching one of those animal shows on the
Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark
bite suit. And there's only one way to test it.
"All right Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks
good... They want you to jump into this pool of sharks,
and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well,
all right, but hold my sign. I don't want to lose it."
Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one
of those side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant
walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR
he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist and said,
"Nope. I was driving around and those other three just
swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."
We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy
came over to the house and drove the car around for
about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets
out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust
pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been
wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.
I learned to drive a 18-wheeler in my days of
adventure. Wouldn't you know I misjudged the height of a
bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn't get it out
no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and
eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He
went through his basic questioning. OK. No problem. I
thought sure he was clear of needing a sign...until he
asked "So. Is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help
myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and
then back to him and said "No. I'm delivering' a
bridge...here's your sign."
