I saw this on another board, thought it was somewhat humorous
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.

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."

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
to
emergency!
"Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.
