I walked into a Blimpie's with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a sandwich. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free".
"They're already buy-one-get-one-free", she said, "so I guess they're both free". She handed me my free sandwiches and I walked out the door.
They walk among us and many work retail.
====================
A friend of mine bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. My friend decided that people were too untrusting of this deal. It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it.
They walk among us.
====================
One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said, "Where?"
They Walk among us!
====================
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 sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."
They Walk Among Us!!
====================
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 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 dialled 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."
They Walk Among Us!
====================
My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative 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."

====================
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
They Walk Among Us!
====================
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.
They Walk Among Us!
====================
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 the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.
They Walk Among Us!
====================
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?"
They Walk Among Us!
====================
While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."
Yep, They Walk Among Us!
====================
They walk among us, AND they reproduce!
The other one is: 'Half pepperoni, half sausage.' 'Which half do you want the pepperoni on, right or left?'
And my favorite: The little red pepper packets come in a cardboard box about 8" square. It's labeled, 'Crushed Red Pepper'. On top of the box it says, 'Do Not Crush'.
I actually had to show them the label on the bottle that says '2 Liters'.
I don't know why this guy didn't go back, buy 10 cases and have her multiply 10% by 10.
'I want pepperoni, ham, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, sausage, onions, jalapenos, hamburger, bell pepper, extra cheese, olives, pepperoni, and Canadian bacon. Two dozen Buffalo wings, cheese sticks, and a twelve pack of Pepsi.'
'Okay, that'll be $42.47. Is this cash, check or charge?'
'WAAAIITAMINUTE!!! THIS SAYS $9.99!!!!'
They Walk Among Us!
And they vote democrat.
You're acclimating well.
I didn't even notice your accent.
Great post--made my day!
Reminds me of 'Here's Your Sign' ... really funny skit.
BTW, thanks, I needed that!
You beat me to it ... I'll take my sign.
Hey! You're right! LOL! :)
They surf among us.
Thanks ES. Favorite is woman with chain attached to her nose and ear rings.
> That would be uninterruptible. How does one interpret a power supply?
Aparently I'm limping among us. I did that myself, with spell check supplying the means.
Bookmarked for later.
Several years ago, I was making a charge purchase. The clerk looked at my credit card and told me I'd have to sign it. I did. She then presented me with the charge receipt and indicated where I was to sign it. I did. At that point, she called over a supervisor to compare and confirm my signatures. Yes, indeed, they do walk among us! :)
Cute, even if the last one is a variation on a Yogi-ism.
LOL!! Very good stuff!
