Stupid Roommates

One day, my former roommate decided to cook on the grill. Well this intelligent being turns on the gas and finds that the electric start isn’t working. He then goes into the house to get a match (keep in mind the the gas is still running). In the house he find a butane lighter, which is empty, so he attempts to fill the empty BUTANE lighter with zippo lighter fluid. The Gas is still running. Failing and spilling the fluid all over the lighter, he then for some reason clicks the little electric trigger (that made a nice flame.) Again, keep in mind the gas has been running for at least 5 minutes. So after the lighter incident I realized that the grill was still running. So I went outside, shut the gas off and waited about 5 minutes to let the gas clear out. After I feel it is safe to light the grill, I turn on the gas, throw in a match and presto…its ready to cook. My roommate then asks, “How’d you do that?” At this point I proceeded to tattoo the word “idiot” on his forehead.

Stupid Students

During our high school homecoming week, each class has to make a Homecoming poster to be displayed in a business window downtown. A girl in our senior class asked us what our poster was going to be. We jokingly told her that we were going to pose as mannequins for the entire week in our designated window. To our surprise, she seriously responded with,”Wow! That will be really cool. But what are you going to do at night?”

Stupid CoWorkers

As a computer monitor at a university, students typically have fairly stupid questions, but rarely do the monitors though. Just this morning a monitor was unable to print to the color printer, which is not unusual considering the state our computer lab is in. However, the head monitor was asked to look into it. He was unable to determine the cause of the malfunctioning printer and waited on a full-time support person to come to the rescue. This person arrived and immediately lifted up the printer to discover the cable had been disconnected. Just goes to show you how even people who provide help need help.

In high school, a girl named Sonya asked the science teacher the following: “If you weigh 100 pounds, and then you lose 100 pounds, what happens?”
