Life Is Tough.

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 askedfor 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 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."

 

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

should be fine, The mother says," I just gave him some

ant killer." Dispatcher says, "Rush him in to

emergency room!"

Hilarious yet sad!

It reminds me of a story a friend used to tell.

They had ran a concession stand at a factory, and they would price their donuts 10c each or 2 for a quarter.

You'll be surprised how many would opt for the latter.

Ugh. I can't believe that.
