A Few Airhead Stories
  • "I was out one night with some friends and we were lying on the ground, looking up at stars, discussing about the different constellations and stuff when one friend said, (brace yourself) 'Does Japan have the same sun as us?'"
    --Melanie H.
  • "A couple friends and I were at a stoplight and we saw this guy getting out of his car. His muffler had fallen off right in the middle of the intersection. He gets out and picks it up, lets out a yelp as he drops it, and starts blowing on his hands as he danced around a bit. He ends up kicking it to the side and leaving it there, but we never laughed so hard in our lives."
    --Amy M.
  • "I was out walking with some friends and said, 'Look, a bird with no wings!!!' Everyone looked up."
    --Buckies
  • "When I lived with my parents a few years ago, I came home from work and found the back door open and our indoor-dog outside; very strange. Turns out my Mom had come home for lunch, let the dog out, forgot about him, left the door open and her book she was reading at the time on the kitchen table: 12 STEPS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY."
    --Stephen S.
  • "I'm a locksmith and get called out for all types of emergencies. Just this morning, I received a call from a young lady telling me she had locked her keys in her truck. She was very frantic, as she had to get to work. I told her the cost, found out where she was, and I was on my way. Since she told me she thought the keys were in the truck (but couldn't remember for sure where she had put them,) I began working on opening the passenger door of her truck. As I was maneuvering my tool to unlock the door, I looked across at the driver door and noticed... it was unlocked. Without a word, I walked around and opened the door for her.
    'Thank you!' she said. 'I didn't even know you could unlock the driver's door from the passenger side.'"

  • "Once while working in the sound booth of a television studio, we were rewinding a tape of a flag raising; The playback was on the monitors in reverse so our 'airhead' asks why they were taking down the flag!"
    --Lee B.
  • Q: Why did the airhead put her head out the car window?
    A: To refuel.
  • "In a phone conversation with an account manager late one evening, I was obtaining a breakdown of an account. The lady listed... 34.95, 502.97, 37.75, 973.04. But as she was reading off the numbers, I was hearing electronic tones through my receiver, as if someone had picked up an extension phone and started dialing. I looked around the room to our other phone but no one was at that phone. Suddenly, the account manager burst out laughing. When she could at last speak clearly again, she said, 'I'm so sorry! I was wondering why my telephone wouldn't ring up that total.'"
    --Anthony W.
