These are funny -As a kid Lake Erie was our front yard and we had a Criss Craft that got destroyed in a major flood While listening to my brothers and Dad talk about what boat they wanted to get.One of them suggested an "electric" boat. I pointed out that ( A-they would never find a lead cord long enough to reach our favorite fishing spot and ( B- electricity and water don't get along. 40+ years later my brothers refer to this as my 1st Blonde Blunder :lol: I'm positive it was my only BB ever

Oh yes, they forgot to put on their 'stupid' signs. Needed those laughs today. Thanks for posting.

I have one. I was shopping at Walmart a few weeks ago. I unloaded all of my purchases on the counter and the lady behind me loaded all of her purchases. The checker tried to scan my lettuce. I love "Living Lettuce" and they just started stocking it. She was unable to scan the lettuce. Instead of calling the produce dept., she left to get help. After waiting quite awhile, the lady behind me reloaded her cart and checked out at the next aisle. I'm still standing there waiting. I walked into the aisle and could see her in the produce dept. She finally returned and told me that they don't carry that lettuce, as she is standing there holding it in her hand. She said that the produce manager told her I could have it for $1. I hope they don't realize that they carry it, so that I can keep buying it for $1. What a deal!

Thanks you'all for the laughs. I really needed them. I have been messing with my computer deleting files and backing up files. I have been having trouble and am afraid of a crash.

Its easy to do There are way to many cords under the desk and with the improper lighting they tend look alike-- Guess what iI did this past week-end

:oops:

No offense meant!! My apologies. It's just the type of thing that I would do, ignoring my earlier disclaimer. And, yes, there are too many cords in our lives, that's why my DVR isn't hooked into the cable box right now. :|

Update to this: I've been dwelling on this. I do that when I think I've hurt someone's feelings. Please be assured, that it never occured to me that my using the "plug" post could be interpreted as the poster being an idiot. OMG, that was never my intention!!! And, I'm really sorry if my post insulted anyone. Lord knows, I've done my share of such things.

True story: When my stepson (a teenager) was visiting us he saw a sign that said "Blind Driveway". He wanted to know if that's where blind people live. He's 38 now and still gets teased about it - his defense - he had never seen that sign before.

Some of these people must be our Republicans in Washington D.C. Laughing

Just wanted to add, think of these Republicans at the next election and be sure to "vote" for them. Grinning
