A "Here's your sign" moment

[Baby Byron]

So today we had our big annual garage sale. Bright colored posters all over the neighborhood and one right on my driveway.

Whole driveway full of items neatly displayed, books, cds, dvds, Stampin' Up! sets, big ticket items with very visible price displayed, you know... the whole nine yards.

This fella approaches my driveway, walks towards me with this quite puzzled look on his face and says (and I quote):

"Y'all having a garage sale here today?"

Guys... it took all my strength to bite my tongue and not pull a Bill Engvall on him that would have sounded a little like this:

"Nope. We just thought our things were too crammed in the house so we're letting them enjoy the day and sun bathe for a wee bit. Here's your sign....." Sheesh... really? Everytime the whole scene re-plays in my mind I have a giggle fit...

Anybody has similar "Here's your sign" stories to tell?

I have people walk up to me while walking Max who'll say, "is that a german shepherd?"

We occasionaly order lunch from the store down the street from work. When we call in our order, one guy there will always ask "Is this for here or to go?".

If you're calling in from work, that makes sense, but in the guy's defense, some people are strange and actually order food so it's ready by the time they want to come in and eat it.


I've got one, happened to my Brother, not me however...He used to work at Blockbuster back in High School and apparently would get calls on Holidays (They would be open on Christmas and such) asking, "Hey, are you guys open?". He'd say, "I wanted to tell these people...'Nope, just sitting here in the dark with all the lights off waiting for someone to call...Heeeeeere's your sign' "

I brought Stosh to the office on Thursday and a group of people were standing around petting him and saying how big he was getting. One guy asked how old, what's his name, how much does he weigh, etc, then he says, "Is he your dog?" Guess he ran out of intelligent questions

Chalk me up as another Bill Engvall fan!

I used to drive a high horsepower car for my daily driver. One of my coworkers asked me if I used special tires for it. (He was a real nerd) I told him the tires were special order from NASA, using rubber from used shuttle tires.

Visibly impressed, he said no wonder your car is so fast.

Heeeere's you sign........
