Stupid People

A friend sent me this in email today, for some reason I really like it.

STUPID PEOPLE:

Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, " I'm Stupid".
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them
anything. It would be like, "Excuse me... oops, never mind. I didn't see your
sign."

It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and
there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My neighbor comes over and
says "Hey, you moving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign."

A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled
his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?"
"Nope-Talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel.
There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there's only one way to test
it. "Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good... They want
you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don't wanna lose it."

Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist. I said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."

We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to
the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to
the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust
pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been wearing his sign, I could
have stopped him.

I learned to drive an 18 wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn't you
know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn't
get it out no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and eventually a
local cop shows up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning..ok..no problem. I thought for sure he was clear of needing a
sign......until he asked "So..is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and then back to him and said ........."no I'm delivering a bridge...here's your sign."

I stayed late at work one night and a co-worker looked at me and said
"Are you still here?" I replied, "No. I left about 10 minutes ago. Here's
your sign."

Anybody you know need a sign today?

Hey, Sweetie, that's Bill Engvall. He's a 'country' comedian who's friends with Jeff Foxworthy. They tour together and stuff. He's got at least one book and 3 or 4 tapes out. He's excellent. He was also a bullrider and can sing...
