Try this:

At a fast food joint or convenience store... your bill comes to $4.87 and you give the cashier $5.12. They'll just stare at it, try to give you the change back, or say "this is too much" - when all they have to do is punch it into the computerized cash register and it'll let them know you were just trying to get a quarterback (much like the AZ Cardinals ).

I do it for sport now...

I work in DC. No pictures. I drive from WV to Metro station in the dark. Go directly from metro to work. No windows. Leave work directly to Metro. By the time I get to the car it is dark. Do not like daytime shiny thing in sky.

But here's a recent occurence:

Driving back down from PA one weekend, I decided to stop off at a fast-food establishment just off the highway.

After stepping up to the counter, the employee asked me what I would like so I placed my order for a large milkshake.

After entering the keystrokes into the cash register, he looked me in the eye and asked me "Is this to go?".

My response back to him was "Yes, does that mean I get a cup?"

True Story...

I had recently arrived in the US and was working with a company that serviced numerous bars and nightclubs in Vegas while I was waiting to ship out to Basic.

One night I was working at one of (cough) "those" types of bars and was out back on a break. One of the "dancers" was on her break as well.

My boss came out and asked me for my Social Security Number. So I said
"Sure Ken, let me just pull it out of my wallet, I haven’t quite memorized it yet" (I had just received it few months earlier).

The "dancer" looked at me and said
"You haven’t memorized your SS#?"
"You got it when you where a kid right?"

I said
"No I'm not from the US and I only just arrived" (As if my accent didn't give that away?)

And she said....
"What's the US got to do with it...the whole world gets a SS#!"

Reason #47 why I guess she was a stripper.

It's scary out there.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

A woman ran over a mattress on the highway and kept on driving until the jumble of wrapped wire springs under her car ripped a hole in the gas tank. The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally stopped her.

She had managed to drive 30 miles with a 60-pound tangle of mattress springs and fluff wrapped around the drive shaft. She had it towed to the dealership and complained that the vehicle had a "sort of a shimmy" when driven at high speeds.

Duh...
