You Can't Fix Stupid People

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 Wal-Mart 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 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."

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
Batteryto 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." (she had no clue either!)

FIVE
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.

SIX
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.

SEVEN
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?"

EIGHT
Police in Radnor , Pa . 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.

NINE
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her
Kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants.. The dispatcher tells her to give
The kid some Benadryl and it should be fine.
The mother says, "Okay, but, I just gave him some ant killer..... "
Dispatcher: "Rush him in to emergency room!"

Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid

Imagine this...the office is quiet (except for phone ringing, clickings of the keyboards) when I started giggling as I was reading the article.

Made my day, really. Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.

Nope, don't know if all stories are true but the McDonald's joke?...there is a great possibility...lol

I heard one about the original 51/4" Floppy disks, secretary's where found to have affixed labels to the disk and then put them through the typewriter to type the labels.

On a general note, how difficult will it be to teach kids in the future what clockwise is, when we only have digital clocks.

When the eggbox (post office) first opened some people thought that you had to put money in the card slot (causing many problems). Another guy thought that the card had to go in all the way so hit it with the heel of his hand knocking the entire mechanism out at the back of the machine.

Initailly, the cards were of mixed compounds and if left in the car warped in the heat. The authorities eventually changed the make-up of the cards thus resolving the issue.

It's been a long while since we last had any direct dialogue..:) but that does not mean we're forgetful of each other (at least on my side to all QLers).

Hope all is going very well with you and your family.

Nice of you to speak Egyptian..:)) very courteous.
