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.
TWO.
I was checking out at the local Target 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.
THREE.
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
that 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."
FOUR.
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
>in this remote. 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."
FIVE.
Several years ago, we had a junior typist 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 junior took her last remaining blank
piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five
"blank" copies.
SIX.
My neighbour works in the I.T. 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
branches who had this question:
"I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do
you guys have a fire downtown?"
SEVEN.
Police in Dubbo NSW interrogated a suspect by placing a
metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a
photocopier 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.
Life is tough... It's tougher if you're stupid
Damn you Rob! I spat my coffee over my keyboard :(
Us superior intelligences just rule, then...
