During a daily Biology class, we were discussing how DNA is made by taking enzymes from eaten food and using the enzymes to build the DNA. ANYWAY, my teacher said "Now, when I eat the carrot, the enzymes from the carrot help to build strands of DNA." And this girl in the front row asks without a hitch "So then is DNA made of carrots?"End Quote

I can't begin to tell you how misleading your teacher was, but you do want to eat your carrots ;)

My mom's friend is a teacher at a nearby high school. Well, one day, she assigned her class a paper on World War 2. The day it was due, one boy came in empty handed. The teacher asked him why. He simply replied, "I went to every library I could find, but I found NOTHING on World War 2. I found a lot of books on World War 11, though."End Quote

My friend Rachel announced she was going to bleach her hair in the summer. My friend Tracey asked, "What color?"
End Quote

This COULD be a valid question, because the color once it's done may be different for people with different "starting" hair colors...but I could be wrong.

I liked the World War 11 thing, that's great ;D

TRUE STORY: I knew this guy who went to a pizza place and ordered a large pizza. The person working there asked him if he wanted it cut in 6 pieces or 8. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "6. I don't think I can eat 8."

Glad you enjoyed them, Rice!  Here's another....I had just gotten my debit-card. I hadn't had a chance to sign it yet and I went into the store. The girl, seeing that it wasn't signed, gave me her pen and asked if I would sign the card. I did. So she proceeds with the purchase, hands me the receipt to sign and then takes the card holds it up next to the receipt and compares the signatures…

I've had people do this to me, also.  DUH!!!

The hubby and I went on a cruise to Mexico, Jamaica & the Cayman Islands with another couple .  While in a bar in Mexico, the guys were trying to figure out what to order when she said "Why don't you guys try some of that double X beer?" (meaning Dos Equis) We were just rolling.

Oh, man..stupidity is catching....a woman that I work by called our system support unit a few minutes ago because her media player wasn't working, there was no sound. When our I.S. guy got up here he told her "You are using the wrong headset." Apparently she has two headsets at her desk and of course only one is plugged into the computer...the one she was using is plugged up to her cd player...this just happened and now I am ROLLING.... ;D. So is the support guy.....

I have a habit of not signing the back of my credit cards. Some people will have me sign them when I am checking out. Kind of defeats the purpose huh?

I had heard those stories...but this is the scary thing...this girl that had trouble with the headset..she handles phone calls for a health insurance company just like me. Just think of that the next time you call your health insurance company. Of course, the girl I am speaking of is not the brightest light bulb out of the box. She is mad now because she didn't think that it was very funny, and is upset because Paul and I thought it was hysterical.

yes. I would hope that noone would think that a "cupholder" is your cd rom, or that the mouse is a foot pedal...but then again..you should take some of the phone calls I take during a typical day. ;D

Fw: Having a bad day? THIS WILL CHEER YOU UP! Bad Day Stories..........There was a case in one hospital's Intensive Care ward where patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11 A.M., regardless of their medical condition.  This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had something to do with the supernatural.  No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11 A.M.  on Sundays. So a Worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.  The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11 A.M., all doctors and nurses nervously wait outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about.  Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.
Just when the clock struck 11:00...  Pookie Johnson, The part-time Sunday housekeeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so that he could use the vacuum cleaner.
Still Having a Bad Day?

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.  At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.  A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.
Still think you are having a bad day?


A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle.  Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places.  Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Sony Walkman.
STILL think you're having a bad day?

Two animal rights protesters were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany.  Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly.  The two hopeless protesters were trampled to death.
What?!  STILL having a bad day?

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb.  It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it.  Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

There now, feeling better?

I worked in a hardware store in college and I had one lady bring one back because the cord she bought had 3 holes and her cord she wanted to plug in only had 2!
