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.

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
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."

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.

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?"

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.
