OK.... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs," what does that make the
Tennessee Titans?

There are three religious truths:
a. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
b. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian
faith.
c. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at

IDIOTS 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:
"too many deer were being hit by cars" and he didn't want them to
cross there anymore. This one was from Kingman, KS.
______________________________________________________

IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He
said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
And he was a Kansas City chef!
______________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport
employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without
your knowledge? To which I replied, "If it was without my
knowledge, how would I know? He smiled knowingly and nodded,
"That's why we ask." Happened in Birmingham, Ala.
_______________________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the
street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker
of mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I
explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing
driving?!" She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS
___________________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was
leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented
cheerfully, this is fun. We should do this more often." Not a
word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at Texas
Instruments.
________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip Back into
itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system
would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's
office no less.
____________________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick
up our car, we were told the keys had been 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
side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that
it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's
open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!


Five tips for a woman....

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.


Foot Note:

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
"If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."

1. Paddy:
Paddy, the famous Irishman, is driving home after downing a few at the local pub. He turns a corner and much to his horror he sees a tree inthe middle of the road. He swerves to avoid it and almost too late realizes that there is yet another tree directly in his path. He swerves again and discovers that his drive home has turned into a slalom course, causing him to veer from side to side to avoid all the trees. Moments later he hears the sound of a police siren and brings his car to a stop.The officer approaches Paddy's car and asks him what on earth he was doing. Paddy tells his story of the trees in the road when the officer stops him mid sentence and says,
"Fer goodnessakes, Paddy, that's yer air freshener!"
