How do these people survive?
ONE Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you
could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half
dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager
at the
counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve,"
was
the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order
six?"
"That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items
and
the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked
up
one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed
it
between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had
scanned
all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for
the
bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to
me, "Do
you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I
don't
think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the
things
and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.
THREE A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy
drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she
was
doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking
for a
credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy"
FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
"Do
you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have
replaced
the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car.
Do
you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a
battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I
asked.
"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car
keys
to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied,
"Why
don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long
walk."
FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift.
One
day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out
of
typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the
secretary
told her With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of
paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank"
copies.
SIX I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home
was
towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of
repair
and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister". I
asked
the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the
"cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
SEVEN My neighbor works in the operations department in the central
office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have
problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in
one
of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from
the
back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
EIGHT Police in Radnor , Pa. , interrogated a suspect by placing a
metal
colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy
machine.
The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed
the
copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the
truth.
Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
NINE A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she
needs
to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The
dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine.
The
mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....
Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency
Life is tough.
It's tougher if you're stupid
