    What The...

    During my lunch break I rode down to the local chemist to get some throat lozenges. When I walked in, the lady behind the counter asked do I ride a bike? With helmet in hand gloves still on, and wearin a riding jacket, I felt the answer was slightly obvious. However feeling mischievous I replied saying I don’t ride but drive the Toyota corolla parked out front . She asked about the helmet, to which I replied I drive fast, and don’t want to hurt my head if I crash. To my amassment she actually believed me… ….I strolled out smirking, and burst into laughter outside, I wobbled back to work laughing all the way.

    You guys ever had anything like this happen to you?

    I once had a guy ask me if my name, Matthew, is spelled with a "ph". That was pretty funny.

    It's an obvious case of 'ask a stupid question, get a stoopid answer', but once you realised she believed you you should have done the right thing and apologised for only joking with her...oh well, maybe next time she serves you she'll see you roll on up on your bike and give you a good clip round the ear lol.

    Oh yea. Used to mow lawns for a living - signwritten truck, all the gear, fadges, covered in grass, etc....some woman came up to me amd asked "Do you mow lawns?" Some people just like to hear their own voice I reckon.
    Anyways, I told the woman "Nup. I paint houses."
    She walked away, shaking her head like I was loopy.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I stopped in a a petrol station on my way home not too long ago. Put the $8 of petrol in that I needed, walk in to pay wearing my helmet, jacket, gloves. Say to the man behind the counter "Pump 4" and he says to me...."The motorbike?"....


    Uh.....yeah.

    Sometimes petrol station attendants need to clarify such things, but it sounds like you would've really confused him if you'd taken off your helmet, etc lol!

    I think the only answer that one could give to that would be "Motorbike? What motorbike ? "

    I don't get it. Why does someone ask you what you've just told them.
    At work;
    "you look like you just went for a run..." - person
    "I went to the gym" - me
    "So you go to the gym?" - person
    Duh. Yeah, just said that. Dumass.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them
