Funny things people say to you? We stopped in Marceline Missouri, just off the interstate, to see Walt Disneys childhood home and grab a bite at Sonics.
One of the waitresses came out to the car and asked: "So, is that street-legal and do you drive that on the interstate?" 
I said "Yes, we just came from KC and we're headed back to Indy." BUT I REALLY wanted to say "No, of course not. We were only allowed to drive it on the sidewalks from Indy to KC and back."  |
PRICELESS!!!
My motto is NEVER give a straight answer to a dumb question! Heck, half the time I don't give straight answers to legitimate questions!
That reminds me of the time in line at a drive-thru, some woman pulled up beside me, and honked her horn to get me to lower my window. "Is that a REAL car?" she asked. "No," says I. "Are you kidding? This is a
toy!" She nodded sagely and then inquired, "Well, if you don't mind me asking, how much was it and where did you get it?" Warming to the task, I waved my hands expansively, saying "Not at all. It was, like $200 I think. My wife got it for me at Toys R Us," which was just a few blocks away. She brightened, said "Thanks!, I'm gonna go get me one!" and drove off in the right direction.
I only wish I could have heard the exchange between her and the poor clerk or manager!
