My friend and I were talking on the phone and both looking at a map of the U.S. for something...

him: I'm looking at a map, i see Mass. but where's Conn?? I can't find it. Oh wait, there it is. No wait, thats Delaware.
me: umm...
him: i'm looking at the map, and theres no map on it!!

I was laughing for a good 5 minutes after.

How long has it been since your friend's head injury?

I was behind the desk one day with about 5 of them leaning on the other side and one of them said something I couldn't understand. (Ever hear a Pittsburgh accent?) I asked "what?" and he repeated himself. I still couldn't understand what he said and asked again "what"? He repeated again. Still "what?"...all 5 of them turned around and repeated the word in unison and loudly!

Reminded me of a Mitch Hedberg joke:

""I mumble while I'm on stage, I'm a mumbler. If I'm walking with a friend and I say something, he won't hear me. So he'll say 'What?' So I'll say it again but once again he doesn't hear me. So he says 'What?' But really it's just some insignificant **** that I'm saying. But now i'm yelling, 'THAT TREE IS FAR AWAY.'""

We made a trip to the almighty Walmart yesterday. I had Kadin in the cart and he was saying "excuse me" as we would pass in front of people in the aisle (PROUD MAMA Moment). We stopped right beside this lady to look at some bread and Kadin was trying to get my attention to ask me a question by calling out "Mom, Mom" Before I could answer him the lady said to me "He is so cute - is he your son?"

I had to bite my tongue and say "yes" instead of "No, I got him from rent-a-kid for a few hours." or "No, didnt you see the big bin of kids on sale in aisle 4?"
:doh: :doh: :doh:

This summer I went with a group of people from my church and another church to Honduras. One high school kid from the other church kept asking, "Is Honduras like a city, or a state with cities in it?" We had to keep telling him that Honduras is a COUNTRY with provinces and the city we were in was San Pedro Sula.



One time I told some of my students that my husband is from Ecuador, and one of them asked, "Is that a Mexican country?"



On another occasion, a middle-aged woman asked us if Ecuador is near "Guacamole."

That has got to be her sense of humor. No?

I worked with an old lady who once asked me to get her the "Wah-ka-moe-ka"

Airport Security: Did anyone place anything in your bag without your knowledge?

Me: If they did, I don't know about it.

Yeah, that got me an appointment with the Neanderthal with the wand.
At least I didn't get the body cavity search.

Don't you love our airport security? Did you see anyone acting suspicious? What if you feel suspicious? Do you report yourself? :convinced:

Airport Security would definitely be added to George Carlin's list of oxymorons

See, I have never understood that question - if someone put something in my bag without me knowing it - how would I know????
So actually when I answer that question with a "no" I am lying because I dont really know if someone put something in there or not.

I watched a video on cnn.com the other day about plain clothes cops who hang out in airports all day and look for people who are suspicous, nervous, antsy, etc..... And you acting this way is all they need to pull you aside and question you and use the wand.

I'm @ the gas station the other day and the machine wouldn't take my debit card, so I had to go in and pre-pay.
I ask the woman what's up with it and she said that it says card read error, so I tell her the amount I wish to prepay and she looks outside and says which pump. I turn around and see that I am the ONLY vehicle out there -look back at her and say the only pump with a car in front of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:doh:
