At the Start
Found this on a US newsgroup.
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun
waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the
north?"
When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the
east (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I
don't keep up with that stuff."

I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day I
got a call from an inDUHvidual who asked what hours the call center was
open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7
days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting
to end the call quickly, I said, "Pacific."

So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria when we
overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the
sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a
convertible, but "didn't think [she'd] get sunburned because the car
was moving."

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut
through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two
cases. The cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20%
discount.

I was hanging out with a real republican friend of mine when we saw a
woman walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain.
My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her
head?" I explained to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same
distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to
the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never
showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because they always
found lost bags and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has
your plane arrived yet?"
