>Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could

>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

>The paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what happened a couple
>of
>months ago...I was checking out at the local food store 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 asked 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 plied, "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 don't know. 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 in 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 & COMPUTERS My neighbor works in the operations department in the

>central office of a large bank. Employees in the field called him when

>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

>My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I

>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.
