MAKES YOU WONDER HOW WE SURVIVE

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 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 our 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.

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?"

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.

Well, there are no more stupid children than those "educated" by our
public education system. It's kind of like an assembly line - get them
in, get them out. Those lucky enough to graduate at least have a
chance. Too many drop out before graduation and have a zero chance of
success.
