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 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 AT WORK... Sign in a gas
station
Coke -- 49 cents. Two for a dollar.
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 ca
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 meta
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.
