    I worked with a guy many years ago, who was not, perhaps, the sharpest knife in the drawer.

    He disappeared to the hospital one day when his wife went into labour for their 4th child. The next day we asked him if everything was OK.

    'Yeah, fine' he said 'but they couldn't get the baby out, so she had to have a solarium'.

    It must have helped her to relax.

    I've heard a lot of stupid ****ing things in my time. I guess the two that stick out in my mind the most at the moment and are causing my head to nearly explode to the point that my ears are ringing from the rise in blood pressure, are these two.

    1. From a very well know door and window manufacturer.
    "In thirty years I have never seen the interlocks on a patio door deteriorate, perhaps you should have started with a new door."
    The above statement was from the representative in an email I received this morning ... which is one year and 6 months after he came to my home, told me the interlock seals were bad, we were well within the warranty, and I would have the replacement parts within 2 weeks ... which I still haven't got one year and 5.5 months after he said I would.

    2. My phone call to the IRS 30 days ago after I got a notice that I'm being audited FOR THE THIRD TIME because my X-wife keeps claiming our daughter as a dependent when she knows that she is not legally able to claim her per our divorce agreement.

    Bub to IRS agent, "Every year I send in a copy of my divorce papers showing I am legally allowed to claim my daughter as a dependent. Every year my x-wife illegally claims her as well. Why does this keep happening and why do you keep allowing her to do this and why do you keep auditing me?!?!? AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    IRS (Internal **** Services),
    "I'm sorry sir, we don't have access to your federal tax returns.

    Bub to IRS agent, "But you're the freaking IRS?!"

    IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, that's a different division of the IRS and because of security we are not allowed to view your returns or any documentation you send in with them. This division automatically gets notified when two or more people claim the same social security number on their federal tax return as a dependent and it triggers an automated request for us to audit all parties.

    Bub to IRS agent, "But why do you keep allowing her to do this?!?!?!?!?!?!?! IT'S FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE SENT YOU THE DOCUMENTATION TWICE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS A THIRD TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, we have no control over what other people do and if you continue to yell I can't continue to help you."

    Bub to IRS agent, "HELP ME?!!! YOU'RE AUDITING ME BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU PROOF OF THREE TIMES!"

    IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, we cannot continue to have a conversation if you are going to be unreasonable."

    UPDATE: Oh ... I forgot the best part .........

    IRS (Internal **** Services), "In order to help you sir we will need a copy of your entire divorce agreement, your 2009 federal tax returns, a copy of your child support order from the court, and proof that you haven't been in arrears in your child support.

    Bub to IRS agent, "BUT YOU JUST SAID YOU CANT LOOK AT MY FEDERAL TAX RETURNS BECAUSE OF SECURITY REASONS WHICH IS WHY THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NOW YOU'RE ASKING ME FOR A COPY!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE ***K?

    IRS (Internal **** Services), *cLiCk*

    And you guy's wonder why I'm always so cynical. It's just a never ending barrage of ignorance that I seem to get thrown at me.

    Oh omnipotent one in the sky ... I'm sorry ok man? Whatever I did, I'm really sorry and I swear I'll never do it again. I'm on my knees, please stop. Ok? LOL!

    Thanks,

    Bub.

    My ex and I were traveling with some friends one day when we pulled into a store that had public rest rooms. The guy was a real hick from the sticks and not too bright. Anyway, the two women went into the ladies room together while Paul and I waited just outside the door. We could hear them laughing, making moaning sounds and carrying on like a couple of crazies. Paul hollered to them and said; "What are you doing in there, having an organism or something?"

    I got suspended from school for playing truant one time.

    That was the best bit of preparation for adult life I ever had I think.

    Nothing that was supposed to make sense ever surprised me after that.

    Is she blond? 


    Wow, that was incredibly stupid. She'd have been better of to ask ... "What's a map?" than to go through all that and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is totally clueless.  I bet her parents were proud. 


    And we wonder why this country is in the mess it's in......... need I say more?

    I'd spent an entire morning in my youth partaking in far too much 'celebration tobacco'.

    My then wife reminded me, to my horror that we had an appointment in half an hour with the bank regarding our mortgage.

    I tagged along to this meeting and whilst waiting didn't notice the representative we were scheduled to see pointing at my then wife and I. 

    I just heard her ask "Are you together?"

    To which I replied, out of pure reflex and without looking up "No, I'm completely wasted."

    A girl I was living with once was confused about why I would watch sports on TV.  I gave some typical response and she then went on to state that all outcomes were predecided for betting purposes.  Um, ok.  If you say so!

    Ya want stupid, you go directly to CSPAN. Oddly enough, you can also get pathetic from there as well, and many times in the same clip.

    Bapu: I get that Grant was buried in Grant's tomb. It's so obvious. I mean I totally understand that.... of course ... Grant... would be the person buried in Grant's Tomb. 

    The part I don't get is how if Grant's in a tomb, he fits a microphone in there, and plays guitar on the recordings I send him. That's the part I don't understand. 

    The amp, the microphones, the computer and Sonar, all in a tomb. That must be a big tomb. Maybe he does it for the natural echo effect. I am trying to figure this out. Is Grant really in Grant's tomb while he's recording or does he only go in there on occasion when people ask? Like if I call him right now will he be hanging out in the tomb or walking down the street........








    this went on and on one day over the phone as I fell asleep......

    (shakes head)
