things to make you think

[DOGRUNNER]

1. 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 some time), she shook her
head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.". .. . .

2. I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 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." . . . . . . He

3. So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when
we overheard one of the admin. 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." . She also votes!

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

5. 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. .

6. 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 is turned.
. . . . My friend also votes!

7. My girlfriend and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub
place last week and she asked the clerk which of two sandwiches was
better. The clerk didn't have an opinion but did say that the first
sandwich was more expensive. My girlfriend got a quizzical look on her
face and asked, "If that's the case, why are they both listed with the
same price on the menu?"
To this, the clerk responded, "I don't think we add tax to the
turkey." . .
.
The clerk also votes!

8. 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?". . . . . . She also votes!
