You have to wonder sometimes about people.


And I agree - there's a big difference between someone asking an innocent, curious question about something they are not familiar with - and someone with no clue and no common sense asking a question that anyone with half a brain wouldn't have to ask if they stopped to think for a minute - or because they're talking out of their @$$ trying to look like they know something.

I think the latter is mostly what we're all having a few laughs about.

So today it finally happened. I was starting to think that the world wasn't as full as dumb people as I had originally reckoned. But today restored my faith in humanity.

I walk into a store. Leather chaps, my riding jacket (emblazoned with Harley Davidson patches and clearly armored), I had my gloves on, goggles on my head, over my doo rag, which is emblazoned with the MoCo bar and shield, and my helmet in hand.

The cashier says "are you on a motorcycle?"
...
uhmm, you might want to get that sign back...

the cashier may have been pulling your leg for being over-logoed.

you werent wearing a hd logo t-shirt with all that were you?

Nope, my chaps are unlogoed, and my jacket is from firstgear. I have a HOG patch and rocker on the shoulder though. By the way, the first comment from the cashier was 'oh where are you from?' to which the lady behind me in the line pointed out, 'you can see she's from here' (chapter rocker and all), poor cashier really wasn't all that bright.

Most of the time, I suffer fools gladly, I'm polite, and I don't roll my eyes until I'm facing away. But just once in a while you can't hold a good smart a$$ comment back.
