THEY WALK AMONG US

THEY WALK AMONG US

BLOCKHEADS 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 any more.

BLOCKHEADS 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.


BLOCKHEAD 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.

BLOCKHEAD SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker 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.

BLOCKHEAD SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker 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 ot her with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.

BLOCKHEAD 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.

BLOCKHEAD 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!

They walk among us.. Folks,  Scary
