We do soooooo many weird things. For instance:

You're driving down the highway with 55mph. You see a sign but can't quite read it..so what do you do? You lean forward..so now your going 55mph AND 4 inches! I'm sure you will see the sign eventually - even without leaning!

You see some people you know in a baseball-stadium...if they are 40ft away...you yell "hey we are over here" BUT if they are 300ft away you WHISPER "hey we are over here"!!! Then when you ask people...why did you whisper..they answer "cause they were too far away to yell"!!

I also hate when people call you on your home phone saying "ohhh..your home?" or the classic "are you awake?"..."No MORON..I'm not at home and I have the annoying habit of answering other people's phone when I'm asleep"

Or when you go inside a bank to take out money and the banker asks you "how do you want your money?" I always say "weeeellll, I would prefer cash...but if the bank is short right now, we can say $50 now and the rest on Friday?"

You have a box of matches...you shake it..and if your hear something you open it and light a match...BUT if you can't hear anything you open it anyway to see what went wrong? It could be those new silent matches..you never know!!

Or the hockey commentator who goes "awww..they always miss the last pass" well...if they didn't miss the last pass, it wouldn't be the last would it?
Or another classic "it is 0-0 tie but if the Rangers score they will be up by one"
Or the coach who during the interview says "if we get off to a good start and score alot of goals...then I'll think we're gonna win".

Just a few observations!!

Once when a teller asked me that I said "On green rectangular pieces of paper about 4 to 5 inches long please." She just looked at me!

Good one Flix....I like the hockey ones also. Sort of like football. A team's losing 27-0 at the half (probably the Dolphins!) and the reporter gets the coach that's on th "0" side on his way to the locker. "Coach, what do you have to do to get back in the game?" "Well Einstein, scoring would be a good first step!"

Oh, Flix, thank you! I'm still laughing at the 'silent matches in the box' and the 'yelling/whispering' observations. You are too funny! :)

Yes, we as humans seem to love to state the obvious!

Michael J Fox as Alex P Keighton on Family Ties used to come up with some great replies to silly statements like that.

Mallory: Alex! You're here!

Alex: Ah gee thanks Mallory, I wasn't sure where I was there for a moment!

Well technically money is 6" long. Measure it. :)

When I am asked how I want my paycheck cashed, I just say "all at once."

Most of the time the teller laughs. The deal is, I am serious. I do want it all right now.

Those were pretty cool!

I'm guilty of doing this one:

"You're driving down the highway with 55mph. You see a sign but can't quite read it..so what do you do? You lean forward..so now your going 55mph AND 4 inches! I'm sure you will see the sign eventually - even without leaning!"

oh well.
