HOW DO THESE PEOPLE SURVIVE ?
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.

The paragraph
above doesn't amaze me because of what happened a couple of months ago 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."

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.

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, 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.

tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."
