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?"
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
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
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.

IDIOTS &COMPUTERS...
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?"

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.
