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 out very quickly. When asked 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.
