I have a legitimate one:
I was at a convenience store in Butler, MO (about 70 miles south of Kansas City on US 71) on a Sunday morning in November. A van with a Kansas City Chiefs flag pulls up. Four guys wearing KC Chiefs sweaters, Jerseys, hats, watches, shirts, and assorted other regalia get out and walk into the store. One guy’s got a portable radio up against his ear.
The convenience store clerk looks at them and says, “You fellas goin’ to the game?”

How is it that, when I’m on a train and we go over a crossing, the bells are always ringing? Yet when I’m in a car on the street, the bells hardly ever ring!

In the interest of hi-jacking this thread so it is **moved to it’s proper locale, MPSIMS** , I propose that we all start relating stupid questions we’ve run into.
I’ll start.
My brother and I are driving along one day and BAM!flap!flap!flap!flap!flap!flap! we get a flat tire.
We manage to limp to a nearby gas-station and this idiot says
“Tire go flat?”
I had to say
“No, we wuz just a drivin’ along and the other 3 just blew right up on us!” I thought I was clever, but the ol’ boy turned out to be not so dumb after all. Without missing a beat he says
“Well, the heat’ll do that.”
I nearly crapped my pants I laughed so hard.
* * *
how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…
