One of the better ones I've heard of, from a co-worker troubleshooting a laptop that wouldn't connect to a home network:
CW: Can you just plug your laptop into the router using a cable?
User: No, my router is mounted on the roof.
CW: On the roof? As in outside on the roof?
User: Yes. My neighbor set it up so that I can use his internet connection.
CW: Your router is on the roof?
User: Yeah, but it is under a bucket to keep the water out.
CW: .....Is it secure?
User: Oh yes, the bucket is screwed right to the roof

I'm not sure how true this is, but it did make me laugh.
The Old Man's Job Application
This is an actual job application that a 75 year old senior citizen
submitted to Wal-Mart in Arkansas.
NAME: George Martin
SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman, (or at least, one
who'll cooperate).
DESIRED POSITION: Company President or Vice President. But seriously,
whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be
applying here in the first place.
DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style
severance package. If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.
EDUCATION: Yes.
LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.
PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I'm worth.
MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and
post-it notes.
REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked.
HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.
PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they're better suited to a more
intimate environment.
MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM
LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.?: Of what?
DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be "Do
you have a car that runs?"
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a
winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, so they tell me.
DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no, on my breaks - yes.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a
fabulously wealthy dumb, sexy, blonde, supermodel who thinks I'm the
greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.
DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR
KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.
SIGN HERE: Sagittarius
Wal-Mart ended up hiring the old man because he was so funny.

I would assume so. RCMP so it's canadian. Can't seem to get any other google hit for Stettler and as the above poster mentions the Red Deer Advocate would likely cover Stettler.
My question is...How is it possible that this wasn't in every newspaper countrywide? Clearly seems a story that should make a guy "famous" far and wide.

That letter may not be real, but my son has experienced that type of thing on a few occasions. Teachers don't like being proven wrong, and my son isn't very gracious about doing it. Result = trouble.

I know that this happens but I fail to see or understand why ... when I slip up somehow and they correct me, I laugh about it; what's wrong with them seeing you as being human?
Still, I doubt anyone would send a letter home like that.
