HOW DO THESE PEOPLE SURVIVE!!!
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.

*The paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what
happened a couple of months ago. I was checking out
at the local Foodland 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?" and 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.....
MAKES YOU WONDER HOW THESE PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE!!!

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into
her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When
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".

*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 convenient
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.

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.

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 look
like a scene out of a twister movie. 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.

*IDIOTS AT WORK... Sign in a gas station: Coke -- 49
cents. Two for a dollar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*IDIOTS & COMPUTERS... My neighbour 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?"

*IDIOTS ARE EASY TO PLEASE: I was sitting in my
science class, when the teacher commented that the
next day would be the shortest day of the year. My
lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and
clapping. I explained to her that the amount of
daylight changes, not the actual amount of time.
Needless to say, she was very disappointed.

Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, 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.
