Idiots of the year 2007 Monday jokes

I know that these came from the good old USA, but worth passing on on a
Monday.
there is some motoring references


Number One Idiot of 2007

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the
poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she
caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the
ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into
the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to
mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill
the ants.

I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right
away.

Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

Number Two Idiot of 2007

Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a
life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of
the plane and home.

Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast
Guard helicopter coming towards them.

It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon
that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at
Boeing.

Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.

N umber Three Idiot of 2007

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and
wrote this, 'Put all your muny in this bag.' While standing in line,
waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had
seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the
teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to
the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his
note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling
errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she
could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of
America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo
deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.

Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, 'OK' and left.

He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank
of America.

Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

Number Four Idiot of 2007

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that; measured
his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the
mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent
the police department a photograph of $40.

Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained
another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.

Wise guy........ But you still get a sign

Number Five Idiot of 2007

A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of
the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the
robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the
shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier
refused and said, 'Because I don't believe you are over 21.' The robber
said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she
didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out
of his wallet and gave it to the clerk.

The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she
put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his
loot.

The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the
robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours
later.

This guy definitely needs a sign.

Idiot Number Six of 2007

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers.

The first one shouted, 'Nobody move!' When his partner moved, the startled
first bandit shot him.

This guy doesn't even deserve a sign

Idiot Number Seven of 2007

Arkansas : Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that
he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some
booze, and run.

So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The
cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor
store window was made of Plexi-Glass.

The whole event was caught on videotape.

Yep, here's your sign

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Idiot Number Eight of 2007

I live in a semi-rural area. (Weyauwega, Wisconsin) 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 are being hit by cars out here! - I don't think
this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us... and they REPRODUCE...!!!

 

Ancient, recycled trash

<http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=print_topic;f=47;t=000115>

 

Self replicating bullshit is a fascinating topic in itself

 

These were somewhat feasible until this bit.

And this.

And this.

Michael

 

So you think there are not people like this in this world ??

 

Not everyone on these groups are as old and ancient as the One and Only
( thank Christ) Bernd Felsche

 

View in the light of "this world" one would suspect there aren't folk
that stupid, but, when you put it in "people in the US" terms, it opens
up a whole new dimension of credibility.

There possibly are but some of those stories are just plain made up. Others
are taken from events that did happen but well before 2007.

 

So in effect, what you are saying is that any story that has been written is
false because you were not there in person to witness it?
Did man really land on the moon?, there are people who today still claim
that story is false
Is the shroud of Turin real?, there are people who say it is true
Is O.J.Simpson a murderer...who knows?

All stories that cannot be proven one way or another without actually being
there at the time
so we must rely on the stories being passed on by either word of mouth or
literally

And who cares if things did happen a year or five ago, if it hasn't been
heard then it is worthwhile

 

How do you go from the above statements to,

See the bits where he says "some of those... are... made up" and
"Taken from events that did happen"?

 

Who knows but many of your stories are clearly false.

We must also rely on our ability to determine the validity of a story. As
yours are listed in snopes they don't look too good hey?

Just adds to the fact that they are all bullshit when they take real events
and modify them.

 

Pull your head in .. I don't count myself as "old" but for a number of
years a derisive term in my team is "Here's your sign".. and has been
for a while.

Here's YOUR sign, George.

 

Crap, George and you know it.
"idiots of the year 2007" kinda excludes things from other years.
"Idiots of the year 2007" also implies the stories are true.. otherwise
the heading would be "Jokes that were invented (well) before today"

You coulda just left the jokes off, signed it, and removed the first S
from the subject line and left it at that.. but hey that's being prickly.

 

You mean like how this dude actually had a shotgun and held the police
at bay for 6 weeks ?

I mean it'd've been way way cooler if it had happened. I might just
pretend it did and mail it ..

 

Gosh. Next time a joke gets posted I'd better get permission to laugh!

 

Hey they were funny in 2004 or something.. I don't mind you found them
funny, just the misrepresentation. George carries on too so it's fun to
rile him up. Sure others do the same to me

I'm not sure if that's true, but lets assume that it is for the sake of
argument.

Even if it's true... it's been heard *lots of times*.

Welcome to 2001.


G-S

 

Yeah; crossposting old horseshit "anecdotes" that've been around a hundred
times before is pretty stupid Cam.... But I don't think
dumb-old-redneck-George is from the US!

 

Whether it's true or bullshit, new or old...if you don't find it funny,
no one ever said you still had to laugh, did they? So what's the problem?

Anyone who really did think these 'events' were true probably deserves
their own sign. For the rest of us, why not just laugh at the bits that
were funny (if any) and forget about the rest? Given the amount of shit
that is crossposted and reposted on a daily basis, is this one really
worth worrying about?
