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.
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.....
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 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.
