The Dumbest People In The World
----------------------------------------------
A medical student was working in the toxicology
department at the poison control center. A woman
called in very upset because she caught her little
daughter eating ants. The medical student quickly
reassured her that the ants are not harmful and
there would be no need to bring her daughter into
the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of
the conversation happened to mention that she
gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order
to kill the ants. The student told the mother that she
better bring her daughter in to the emergency room
right away.
Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on
the work field decided to steal a life raft from one of
the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of
the plane and home. When they took it for a float
on the river, they were quite surprised by a Coast
Guard helicopter coming towards them. It turned
out that the chopper was homing in on the
emergency locator that is automatically activated
when the raft is inflated. They are no longer
employed there.
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated
speed trap that measured his speed using radar and
photographed his car. He later received in the mail
a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of
payment, he sent the police department a photograph
of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from
the police that contained another picture of
handcuffs.
A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and
mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The
policeman taking the report called the phone and
told the guy that answered that he had read the
ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car.
They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.
