Here's your sign

Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm Stupid"
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? Youwouldn't ask them anything. It would be like, "Excuseme...oops, never mind. I didn't see your sign." ...
It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house wasfull of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in ourdriveway. My friend comes over and says, "Hey, youmoving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once ortwice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here'syour sign."
A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddyof mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted upthis big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on thedock 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 theDiscovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a sharkbite suit. And there's only one way to test it."all right Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looksgood...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'twanna lose it."
Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck intoone of those side-of-the-road gas stations. Theattendant walks out, looks at my truck,looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" Icouldn't resist. I said, "Nope. I was driving aroundand those other three just swelled right up on me.Here's your sign."
We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. Aguy came over to the house and drove the car aroundfor about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, hegets out of the car, reaches down and grabs theexhaust pipe, then goes, "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 ofadventure. Wouldn't ya know I misjudged the height ofa bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn't get itout no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help andeventually a local cop shows up to take the report.He went through his basic questioning. No problem. Ithought for sure he was clear of needing a sign...until he says "So..is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig, then back to him and said, "No I'm delivering a bridge...Here's your sign!".
