(while watching a ski movie)

him: "How big was that jump that guy just did?"

me: "The narrator just said it was approximately 125 feet"

him "Wooooow!!!! So, how far *is* that????"

(talking about weights and measures - he was a machinist? (not a question, but still dumb))

me: "How many centimeters in an inch?" (I knew it was somewhere between 3 & 3.5)

him: "I don't know, like 10"

me: "TEN!!! Are you kidding me? I thought you were a machinist"

him:"I don't know, anytime I need to know something like that I just convert it."


(watching him slide his finger across the back of a raw marinated chicken and licking his fingers)

me: "Hey, watch out...you could get samonella from that!!!"

him "sam-a-waht?" (another lick...)

(comes home with some carpet cleaner and looks for a stain on the carpet)

him: (pacing around a 10 square foot area, trying to find a stain that had since been removed)

"Now, where is that stain?"

me: "If you can't see it then it's probably not worth cleaning again"

him: "I think it was here" (sprays cleaner on floor wipes it in, now the carpet REALLY has a mark on it)




I could go on....and on. My friends would come over and ask where he was and we'd invite him to hang out with us. It was like having a pet caveman...
 
Just last week at a fast food place:

Young man over the speaker: Sir, would you like that cheeseburger, with or without cheese?
Me: Uhhhhhh......preferably with. I'll take it off when I get the burger. By the way, could I get that on a Sesame Seed bun without the Sesame Seeds.
Young man over the speaker: Sir, I don't think we put seeds on our buns.
Me: Ok, great! I have a hard time getting them out of my teeth anyway. Thanks.
 
Heard this one just PRIOR to Christmas....

I have a friend that works as a Catholic Church secretary and she said that right before Christmas she receives COUNTLESS calls from people asking :

"What time is Midnight Mass?"
 
While at a farmer's market in Madison, WI, standing at a vendor who had the most amazing cheese bread advertised as "Pure Wisconsin Cheese Bread," the lady behind me asked, "Does this cheese bread have fat in it?"

My friend turned around and just said, "uhhhhh yyyya."

This is not really a question, but it is related to the fast food days...

I used to love it when a POS (Person of Size) would come in and order the following:
Double Cheeseburger, Large Fry, Chocolate Cake and a "Small Diet Coke".

C'mon... Who you are they trying to fool....
