    Caution ... They Walk Among Us

    Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old,
    still working fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it
    saying:
    "Free to good home. You want it, you take it". For three days the
    fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It
    looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for
    sale $50". The next day someone stole it.


    While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
    direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun
    waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the
    North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and
    has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up
    with that stuff."

    I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I
    got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was
    open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days
    a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end
    the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific" . . . . .

    My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we
    overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the
    sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a
    convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was
    moving". . . . .


    My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through
    a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk . .


    My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
    discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The
    cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount. .......


    I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring
    attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain
    rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's
    nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head
    turned.

    I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to
    the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never
    showed up.
    She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained
    professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your
    plane arrived yet?"

    While working at a Pizza Parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza
    to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like
    it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding.
    "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6
    pieces. .."
