I used to work at MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) in the title department. Wish I had a nickle for every clown that said."Can you get my tickets fixed?"
Answer was always" "No, but I can see to it that the police get your records.."
Now I work for the State Mental Hospital (this was an absolutely logical career move, IMO). The question now is, "Do you know if ____________ was ever there?"
Answer: "No, but there was a person with the same name and address as you."

Cold out. Ain't it?

Best one I ever heard, and I heard it repeatedly as a program salesman at the CNE: "Where is the air show?"

I love open doors ;)
 
About my dogs. I actually gave DH a t shirt with this on it because these same questions come up every 5 minutes or so when we're out in public.

--------------------------
Yes, it's a dog. (What is that?)
Yes, it sheds. (Do they shed?)
No, it's not a black Saint Bernard. (I had a St Bernard as a kid, black, looked just like that.)
No, I don't have a saddle for it. (Do you have a saddle?)
Yes, it's a house dog. (It doesn't live inside does it?)
No, I don't have a huge house. (Do you have a huge house?)
Yes, you may pet it. (Can I pet your dog?)
No, it does not eat that much. (Do they eat a lot?)
Yes, that's drool. (What's this?)

Fun thread!
