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?"
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 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 t he photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank"
copies.
"Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."
