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 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."

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.

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.

IDIOTS ARE EASY TO PLEASE... I was sitting in my science class,
when the teacher commented that the next day would be the shortest day of
the year. My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping.
I explained to her that the amount of daylight changes, not the actual
amount of time. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.

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.
"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?"
