    They Walk Among Us

    Sent to me by a friend.
    ================================================== ======

    I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave
    her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave it back to her and
    told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor and gave her the money
    back. She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what
    she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back
    again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.
    This actually happened to me in Austin at MoPac Blvd and Parmer Lane.
    .................They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail.
    I walked into a Mickey D's with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a
    sandwich. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard
    that said "buy one-get one free." "They're already buy-one-get-one-free",
    she said, "so I guess they're both free" She handed me my free sandwiches
    and I walked out the door.

    One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them
    shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said,
    "Where?"
    .................They Walk Among Us!
    While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
    direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him
    up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my
    brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she
    shook her head and said, "Oh I don't keep up with that stuff."
    .................They Walk Among Us!!
    I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a
    call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I
    told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He
    responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call
    quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."
    .................They Walk Among Us!
    My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat
    belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
    .................They Walk Among Us!
    My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
    discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier
    multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.
    .................They Walk Among Us!
    I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the
    lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
    She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional
    and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?"
    .................They Walk Among Us!
    While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to
    go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut
    into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding.
    "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6
    pieces."
    .................Yep, They Walk Among Us!
    They Walk Among Us, AND they reproduce, and WORST OF
    ALL...................................they VOTE

      When I asked the cashier at HD if she accepts Confederate money, She replied," What is it, & is it any good." With the last postage increase, as I was leaving the post office a woman asked why there was such a large line? I told her it was the last day to get stamps at $.37, they go up on Monday, she replied," I better hurry up & get some before the sale is over, or they run out." She got on the line. Some one once asked me if I (me) looked famillier? I replied "Yes" to which they said "I thought so" Then they walked away.............................Thus my tag line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      It's got to be us, because there are a lot more of them!

          And you don't even need the special glasses to detect them.

            And I'm not supposed to leave them behind, no matter how badly they try to get off.

              Last week, my daughter's car radio faceplate was stolen in California. I found one for sale on eBay, asked the seller where he'd gotten it and whether it had been stolen, and he replied that he'd bought a bunch of similar things from "some guy" and the stuff "might" be stolen. He had a Pennsylvania university email address, so I emailed the campus cops to put them on the alert for a possible fence in their midst.

              I was pleased when, an hour later, a campus cop phoned me. The glow quickly faded when he asked me some inane questions, starting with "Could you come in to talk with us in person?" (Answer, "Well, no, I mentioned in the email that I'm on the other side of the continent from you!") Another clueless question: "Do you know the serial number of your car radio?"

              They email and phone among us, too!
