| I love these stories, amazing how many people don't use the brains god gave them! my fav is "'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?"- that one happens world wide, was asked it by atleast a half dozen when flying out of Israel, and I thought I had blonde moments.
thanks for making my day!

| The deer crossing one, ha!
I live in West Virginia.
I have actually seen (and photographed) a row of trash cans on which the determined owner spray-painted the words, "NO DOGS!"

| haha brilliant!
ok here's one from an old comedy show from the 80's... not real life but, based on the examples above, i'm sure it could be!
A group of university students move into their new house, it has been empty for a while. As they open the door there is a mound of envelopes. One student picks a stack up and looks through them saying "must be bill's", the second student looks confused and says... "who's bill?"
sorry.... haha that is how basic my sense of humour is! |

| Some friends of mine broke into a storage facility when we were teenagers (I would say when we were in high school, but I don't think these guys were actually "IN" High school...) Anyways, they thought they'd hit the jackpot when they found the BC Lottery Corp stash of Scratch N Win tickets to be distributed in the area. They scatched and scratched and scratched, and had a HUGE pile of losers and a few winners. I'm not sure how they ever thought they'd claim their money... there are serial numbers on those things...
The only thing they won was a 100 or so hours of community service
