I have noticed many times, in a food store, I have trouble focusing, to sign the check.  I think it is from the cleaner they used to clean the floor.  How strange.  Usually happens in the evening.

Hay Becky,

You would not believe this, but before I came upstairs tonight, my husband and I watched one of the blue collar comidy shows.  I love those four guys, we were doing everything but falling off the sofa watching them.  Jeff and larry are our favorites, but I really like Bill's "Here's your sign." 
rutine.  I can never remember the fourth guy's name, but they are so funny together.

You might be a red neck ...
If you set out a fresh spit bottle along with the guest towels...you might be a red neck.

If you wear a strappless dress with a bra that isn't...you might be a red neck.

Here's your sign
A tractor trailor got stuck up under a bridge and a cop pulled up and asked 
the truck driver.  "Did you get your truck stuck, son?"  the driver piped up 
and said, "Nope, I was delivering the bridge and I ran out of gas."  Here's 
your sign...Stupid!

A man was using a coat hanger to try and open his car door after locking his 
keys inside.  Another man walked up and asked, "did you lock your keys 
inside?"  the first man answered, "Nope, I just washed it and I was going to 
hang it out to dry."  Here's your sign...Stupid!
