She put up signs at her high school in the bathrooms and drinking fountains (with permission of administration) warning that dihydrogen monoxide had been detected. 88 students signed a petition to ban the substance in all county schools. Only weeks before this was thoroughly discussed in the chemistry classes so they all should have known better!!
hahahahaha, hopefully not the AP Chem students!

I could write a book about the stupid things people have said to me while I have been out working with my service dog. I could write another book about the things my kid has said to the stupid people! lol
I was in Joann Fabrics LOOKING at sewing needles. Pulling them off the hanger, reading the package and putting them back. My service dog was laying down next to me.
This well dressed woman in a suit, stockings, heels etc. turns to me and says, "Did you know your SEEING EYE DOG is a pit bull?"
It was all I could do not to say, "REALLY? I though she was big for a chihuahua!" or something as equally stupid!
Uhmmm hello? I am LOOKING at things, it's obvious that I am NOT blind!!
---- THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES ------
Journal Entry: 13 November 2007:
I had to stop into the Court Building to pick up some forms for work this afternoon.
As I was giving my purse to the Sheriff to have a look though, a police officer from the next town over who was standing with two other police officers tells me "You can't bring a dog into the Court Building".
I look over at him and tell him, "This is a service dog."
He responds with, "If that's a service dog, I'm a trained monkey." (Keep in mind that my dog is a pit bull, not your normal service animal.)
Without even thinking, I say, "Then you better start dancing."
The two police officers he was standing with are trying not to laugh. The Sheriff turns to tell the officer that he's got it and when he turns back to me, I can see he's trying to hide his amusement.
When the Sheriff started to bend over to run the wand over Birdie, I told him I could call her up onto the table if that was easier, he said okay. So I tapped the table and told her "UP". She hopped up, I told her to "STAND" and she stood perfectly still while he ran the wand over her, then pet her and told her she was a good girl.
I gave her the "OFF" command for her to hop down and we went on our way.
On the way out, the other Sheriff thanked us for a good laugh and asked if he could pet Birdie.
So let's hope that I am never pulled over by Officer Monkey, cause I'll get a ticket for sure.
Hoyden, you are quick with the comebacks, love it!

Hoyden's experiences remind me of my sister as she trains Guide Dogs for the Blind in the UK.
She was at the checkout with the latest young dog she was training and the checkout girl said to my sister "I see you have a guide dog, when are you going blind?"
People say the funniest things!

People say the funniest things! OMG - I would have all I could do to keep my mouth shut at that one! There are days when I feel like I brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue before I set out for the day. Years of physical therapy and gate training have taken care to the limp I used to have, so people don't really "see" my disability unless it's a bad day for me. One guy said to me, "You don't look handicapped to me!" My then 7 year old daughter immediately responded, "You don't look stupid to me, but looks can be deceiving." I was MORTIFIED!
