Both have been called "the greatest enemy of men"
Think they should rule the world
They obsess over jewelry
They spread gossip like the plague
They boss kings around like servants
They have an eye that sees all, or at least claim to
They hold a grudge for hundreds of years

Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm Stupid." That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them anything. It would be like, "Excuse me...oops, never mind. I didn't see your sign."

It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My friend comes over and says "Hey, you moving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign."

A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?" "Nope — talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there's only one way to test it. "Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good... They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don't wanna lose it."

Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist. Said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."

We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.

I learned to drive an 18 wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn't ya know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn't get it out no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning..ok..no problem. I thought sure he was clear of needing a sign...until he asked "So..is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and then back to him and said "No, I'm delivering a bridge... here's your sign."

10 Ways to Annoy Cops


Say, "Damn, officer, you must have been going fast to keep up with me!"

When he approaches you, stare at his gut and say, "Hmmm. I thought cops had to be physically fit."

Sway and ask if his bulletproof vest protects him from projectile vomiting.

Lie on the ground and ask him to draw your outline in chalk.

Throw his nightstick and tell the police dog to fetch it.

Ask him if you can use his pepper spray to spice up your pizza.

Tell him you wanted to be a cop, but decided to graduate high school instead.

When he asks you to walk the line, "Riverdance" instead.

Instead of pleading the 5th amendment, plead the 13th or 16th.

When he asks for your license, say, "Oh sure, officer, can you hold me beer for a sec?"
