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.
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.
