Stupid people should have to wear signs that say, “I’M STUPID!” That would save the rest of us “normal” folks a lot of headaches. We wouldn’t rely on them or expect much from them. It would be like, “Oh, excuse me. Never mind. I just noticed 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.” (He needs that sign.)
A couple of months ago, I went fishing with a buddy of mine. We pulled his boat into the dock, and I lifted up this big ole stringer of bass. This idiot on the dock goes, “Hey, ya’ll catch all them fish?”
“Nope, just talked ‘em into giving up.” (Talk about need a sign, huh?)
Then the 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! I said, “Nope. I was driving around, and those other three just swelled right up on me.” (Sign needed there?)
In my younger days, I learned to drive an 18-wheeler. Wouldn’t ya know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck, and I couldn’t get it out no matter how hard I tried.
I radioed in for help, and eventually a local cop showed up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning…ok…no problem. I thought he was an OK fellow…until he came out with, “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 deliverin’ a bridge!!!” (Where’s that sign?)
