:lol:

Even worse when they ask you in a language you don't know and then look at you like you're an idiot when you don't answer them in the same tongue.

(Yea, yea, I'm just bitter - that happened to me yesterday at a bus stop on the Quebec side of town. I actually understood the question and tried speaking English. She looked at me like I was indeed a total moron and then asked the next person :doh:)

Actually, if say two or more different bus routes pass the same stop it could make sense to ask "has the bus 7" passed yet when the buses 27 and 11 also stop at the same place like near my place. :p

If somebody asks me 'has the Bus come yet ?', I usually reply 'yes, but I'm waiting for two to arrive together so I have a choice' .. end of conversation. :p

THat is because you know she understands English, but demands to be spoken to in French. I know the type. Seen them many times in Montreal myself.

Another good one is:

A guy falls down in the street and a passer by stops and asks....."Have you fallen down" ?

The guy responds...."No, I'm just trying to break this bar of chocolate I have in my back pocket"

Hmm. I thought most of them were pretty lame.

Like when Paula Poundstone made her joke about getting hot and heavy with her boyfriend, and he asks her what she wants. "I want a chocolate milkshake! What the hell do you think I want?" Which of course immediately throws out years of women telling us "You never think about my needs!"

Yeah, I thought those were kind of stupid.

11. The gov't decides to give you a tax break, and then asks you to immediately go out and buy crap from China with it. ;) Didn't buying more(house) than people could afford sort of start this in the first place? If I buy anything, I want to throw it in Boston Harbor. :arrgh!:

I was watching this American guy on the BBC news last night (sorry, can't remember his name) :-?

He said pretty much the same......"The gov't decides to give you a tax break, and then asks you to immediately go out and buy something with it. The problem is, we don't manufacture anything in America anymore" :hmm:

The following of which is responded to by a string of speech that would never have been uttered under more pleasant circumstances.

If the person who asks is trained in first aid/CPR, they will ask this question if they follow procedure. You see, if someone is unable to respond, then you have the right to administer first aid by what is known as "implied consent" when they do not respond to that question.

If the person does respond, you next ask, "Do you want help?" If they say no, then you do not have the right to administer aid against their will. If they say yes, you may offer help.

Obviously some (ok, many!) people are just stupid and ask this question. But first aid responders ask this for legal reasons.

I understand that medics need to ask a question like that to get a response, but the concept of asking an injured person if "they're okay" (and they obviously aren't) really rubs me the wrong way. When I ask people who are in need of medical assistance, I ask them where they're hurt, not if they're okay. That way I accomplish the same goals without sounding like an idiot.

where can I sign it ?
