Awhile back
@LadyLocust posted a real life statement in this thread that was pretty good. Here's a couple of my own originals that I still laugh at.
I once worked nights at a sheetmetal shop running a press brake. The supervisor was a few years younger than me. Easy to screw with his mind. I could tell he was in a bit of an "altered state". I went outside to take something to the outbuilding. I came back in and said, "Weirdest thing. It's a crystal clear sky, stars everywhere, but when I look over at the ski area, there's a huge blizzard going on". I went back to running my machine and watched him out of the corner of my eye. After about 5 minutes, he looks at me and says, "You idiot! That's the snow makers at the ski area". I said, "NO kidding, Doug! Really?"
The other was when I worked at a sawmill in Wisconsin. A Really hot day! In the lunch room, one guy was complaining about the heat. He never was the sharpest knife in the drawer. I got up and went over to the lone box fan circulating air in the room. I said, "Just what I thought! It's made in Mexico!" He asked, "What difference does that make?" I replied, "Oh, come on Delbert, everyone knows fans made in Canada blow colder air than ones made in Mexico." Then, with a blank look on his face, he said, "Really?"
