    Myself and many of youns have probably seen some strange stuff in our lives. So lets hear about it. I'll go first. I saw a charging Cow headbut a moving car in the driver door. Pushed it clean over to the berm. Caved the door in bigtime. It was dazed, but looked unharmed. This was in Loisiana, were cattle have right-of-way. Thats my thing that makes me go ?????????????????

    Why my supervisor says he doesn't want me to work faster... just get the same amount of work done in less time.:puzzled:

    Why every vehicle I own can do any given legal speed limit with less than 3/8" of pedal.:Brow:

    Why half the machine operators at my plant think that running a machine at a higher rate of impressions or books per hour, jamming up ,stoppping for 5 minutes to clear jams.... is faster than running at a SLOWER rate constantly:af:

    Why my wife let's go of the wheel and puts her hands over eyes after hitting another car and the truck is still not stopped:eek2:

    why the city has appraised my house at 35,000 more than I bought it for 5 years ago:jd: and taxing me for it:rant:



    HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..............

    Why you drive or a parkway and park on a driveway.... seriously though, in my line of work, you deal with so many crazy people that few things surprise me. One thing that I don't understand is how come my 71 Riv's ignition is on the same fuse as my windows...

    this is absolutely true.

    my friend Di used to work at the local small town convenience store. she would open the store at 6am and work till 11am. then her boss (kevin, the owner) would take over as then she would move into the kitchen and serve lunch to customers.

    one morning after she opened, she noticed that there were no more snicker bars in the (point of purchase) box next to the register. she grabbed a couple from the regular candy display snicker box and tossed them in it so there would be some at the register.
    at 11am kevin takes over and Di serves the lunch crowd. after the lunch crowd clears, kevin calls Di to the register and points to the 2 snickers bars in the box at the register.

    kevin says:"what are these doing here?"

    Di says :"this box was empty so i put a couple snickers in it in case somebody wanted one"

    kevin snatches up the 2 snickers, taKes them over to the candy display, puts them back into the regular snicker box and turns around and says in a really disgusted manor "THESE HAVE TO LAST ME THE REST OF THE MONTH!".

    Why a woman can tell you what color of blouse she was wearing the night you met 20+ years ago but can't tell you how long the oil light has been on in the car.

    I was setting 8 foot 4x4 posts in the ground for an arbor and asked my wife to hold the level. When I asked how it looked, she said... "it needs to go one way or the other". Then she got mad because I couldn't stop laughing.

    Greg Schmelzer What are you looking at?!

    Here's a couple...

    A few years back, while home on leave, my mother's hair dryer quit working. She, in her innocence of things electronic, said,"Maybe it ran out of watts?":laugh:

    My favorite. While stationed in Florida, my friend John and I were laying on the beach drinking beer. Hey, we were good at it. Anyway, neither of us had a watch. Curious as to what time it was, I asked a passerby if he knew what time it was. He replied, as serious as can be, "I'm not from around here, dude.":Do No: All I could think was lay off the Thai stick, Cheech!:Dou:

    Why some really stupid people think it is OK to drive a motor vehicle with a FREAKING DOG SITTING IN THEIR LAP!?

    And if anyone reading this happens to be one, STOP IT! IT IS DANGEROUS!

    People who have bought plots of land on the moon that actually think they own something. Duh...

    Now he's starting to sell land on Mars. Sheesh.

    Nevada says it's legal as long as no one complains and no one has.

    This makes me go ???????????????

    Wisconsin drivers that insist on driving in the left lane , going slower than everyone else , and with a cell phone glued to thier ear !!!:rant:

    Another common Wisconsin driver ... When on a four lane road you try to get around them and they speed up and insist on keeping the same speed as you . :rant:

    I drive in Illinois and Wisconsin daily , Two different worlds !

    In Illinois it's nothing to get passed on the tollway at 80 mph and never see that cars tail lights again ! :Brow:

    :Dou: :Do No:

    Why is it that inconsistent and consistent are opposites while inflammable and flammable mean the same thing? Now you know why we have warning labels on products. Just think, someone could possible do that or has done it. :Brow:

    Handicapped parking spots at Golf Courses....although the older crowd might flame me for that one.:spank:


    Why GM made rear window channels that held water!!?? WTF mates??


    Why copper pipe has to be "sweat" together.....why can't they just make a glue or sealer or something? Do you have any idea how hard it is to heat 2" copper enough to make the solder seat?


    Why AOL is so slow....even after 10 years of R&D....and it only gets slower.


    Why I have to be licensed to test backflow preventers...what a waste of my time. It's a 30 second test that requires NO brains.


    They need to make time limits on turn signals....I mean, it's not like you need to blink for 5 minutes when you are turning right!


    *sigh*
