Talking We're in Trouble!

We're in more trouble than you imagine.

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent
which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.".


This person is a registered voter.




I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One
day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"
Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

He also votes.


So, my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria,
when we overheard one of the admin. assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."

. . . . She also votes.

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut
through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

. . . My sister also votes.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases
were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

He also votes.


I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain pretty much the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

My friend also votes.

My girlfriend and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub
place last week and she asked the clerk which of two sandwiches was better. The clerk didn't have an opinion but did say that the first sandwich was more expensive. My girlfriend got a quizzical look on her
face and asked, "If that's the case, why are they both listed with the same price on the menu?" To this, the clerk responded, "I don't think we add tax to the turkey."

The clerk also votes.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I
went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

She also votes.


The sales person explained to the customer that because of a sale that day, all her purchases would be discounted 25 percent.
Replied the customer, "Young man, I know how some of these 'discounts' work! They're nothing but eye candy. Is that 25 percent off EACH ITEM or 25 percent off the TOTAL AMOUNT?"

This person also votes.
