Talking Sign up for Your Stupid Sign

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. 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, and 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 Cobra into one of those
side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my Cobra,
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 Cobra about a year ago. A guy came over to the
house and drove the Cobra around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the
house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the side 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."

The next time someone says something stupid ask them where their sign is.
