I just talked to the stupidest bastard born.

[Galleazzo]

Alright. Some of you know I run a small trucking business, which is why I got the free time to chat here. Most of what I do is direct traffic.

Anyway the receptionist is out getting her lunch and someone calls for the accountant. I'm here so I take the phone. I tell the caller the accountant's out of the office today attending a wake. "Attending a wake?" says he? "Yes, that's right," says I, and I ask if he wants to leave a message?

"Someone passed away?" he asks.

[Bobmuhthol]

WOAH.

[Wezas]

Have you seen the Deisel thread? I think your "stupidest bastard born" has some competition.

[Galleazzo]

Yeah. Not even for pulling that scam, but for thinking he could spill it all out and we'd give him a frigging group hug.

[IcyPoison]

Hit puberty, then we'll talk.

[Galleazzo]

I hit puberty before your mommy and daddy got out of high school, sport. Try again.

[Celexei]

when did your mommy and daddy graduate, just curious when he hit puberty....:P

[Galleazzo]

Hurm. If you're that curious ...... 1971, about.

[Celexei]

hehe cool.....1969 for my pops

[Atlanteax]

The guy probably just wanted to be sure.

You're way over-reacting. :rolleyes:

[HarmNone]

Ummm..., Atlanteax, if a wake is being held, there is absolutely no doubt that SOMEBODY passed away. Wakes are not held for the living. ;)

HarmNone, chuckling to herself

Yeah, sorta like the lawyer who asked the medical examiner on the stand whether the guy he did the autopsy on was alive at the time.

And hey, Makkah, I know. When you're living in your parents' basement bagging my groceries at Stop & Shop, it's hard to figure anyone's got a real job in the real world. When you get tired of fantasy life and want some jack in your pocket, you drop me a line and you can be a junior loader on the dock. I don't discriminate against your kind.

:lol:

[i remember halloween]

i don't get it...

[Sylvan Dreams]

I can top that one.

I work for Lexmark. I used to do tech support. One time I answered the phone with the typical, "Thank you for calling Lexmark technical support" yadda yadda.

Let's keep in mind that the hold music is all very pro-Lexmark and their "passion for printing ideas".

The guy responds to me by saying, "Hello, is this Panasonic? My phone is broken."

--

There was also the time when I asked a woman what model printer she had and she said, "It's a Lexmark. L E X M A R K."

how about this for stupid, Im a desk sergeant at a military police station, our patrol vehicles are parked right outside in full view not 25 feet away from me, a guy walks up to the one parked directly infront of the open front door and slams his fists down into the hood of the vehicle putting a nice dent in it. then starts to walk away, well, he was on video tape, plus it was shift change so i had twice as many patrols at the station who were all standing right in the front lobby getting ready to transport off going shift to the arms room. When caught and confronted the guy stated "It wasn't me, it was this guy that just went over there", at this time he was no more than 15 feet away from the car when caught.

If passengers are any indication the literacy rate has tumbled terribly. All buses have a sign on the front stating the route number and destination in huge letters (illuminated no less). It never fails that at least one passenger will board at a stop that is served by more than one route and ask where my bus goes. They are usually also the ones that ask how much the fare is when it is posted right on the farebox.

I worked in a store as a clerk one summer and had a guy ask me if I would call the police if he walked out with the six pack of beer he was holding without paying first. Um yeah.

<<And hey, Makkah, I know. When you're living in your parents' basement bagging my groceries at Stop & Shop,>>

Uh huh. You know me, right? Must live next door or something.

My husband is a trucker.

Sounds like every person I would speak to here abouts. It's their way of trying to get out of you who died. Nosy bunch.

[Galleazzo]

I believe it. Long or short haul, Sweets?
