Number One Idiot of 2006

 I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at

 the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset

 because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly

 reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need
 to
 bring her

daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the

 conversation

 happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant  poison to

 eat in order to kill the ants.I told her that she better bring her

 daughter into the

 emergency room right away.

 Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

  Number Two Idiot of 2006

 Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to

 steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in

 getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a

 float on the river,they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards

 them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency

 locator

beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer

employed at Boeing.

 Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.

 Number Three Idiot of 2006

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the

 Branch and wrote, "Put all your muny in this bag." While

 standing in line,waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to
 worry

that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police
 before
 he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and

 crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes
 in

 line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and,

 surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the

 brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept

 his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America

 deposit slip and  that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo

 deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated,
 the
 man

 said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was

waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

  Number Four Idiot of 2006

 A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that;

 measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later

 received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead
 of
 payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several> days
 later, he received a letter from the police that contained

 another

 picture,

 this  time of handcuffs.

He immediately mailed in his $40.

 Wise guy........ But you still get a sign

 Number Five Idiot of 2006

 A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun

 and demanded all of

  the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the

 cash in a bag,

  the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind

  the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as

  well,

  but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are
 over
  21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to

  him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his

  driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to

  the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in

 fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber
 

 the

  robber two hours later.

  This guy definitely needs a sign.

 Idiot Number Six of 2006

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop

  nervously waving revolvers.

 The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner

  moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

  This guy doesn't even deserve a sign

 Idiot Number Seven of 2006

 Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly.

  He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store

  window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and

 heaved

it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking

  him

  unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass.

  The whole event was caught on videotape.

  Yep, Here's your sign
