Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 10 or 20 Chicken McNuggets.\u00a0 I asked for a half dozen nuggets.<\/p>\n

“We don’t have half dozen nuggets,” said the teenager at the counter.\u00a0 “You don’t?” I replied.<\/p>\n

“We only have six, ten, or twenty,” was the reply.\u00a0 “So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?”<\/p>\n

“That’s right.”\u00a0 So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.<\/p>\n

A mother calls 911 very worried, asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room; the kid had eaten ants.\u00a0 The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine.\u00a0 The mother says, “I just gave him some ant killer,” to which the dispatcher replies, “Rush him to emergency room!”<\/p>\n

I was checking out at the local Walmart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the divider and looked all over it for the bar code so she could scan it.\u00a0 Not finding the bar code, she said to me, “Do you know how much this is?”<\/p>\n

I said to her “I’ve changed my mind; I don’t think I’ll buy that today.”\u00a0 She said, “‘Okay,” and I paid her for my items and left.<\/p>\n

She had no clue to what had just happened.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, we had an intern who was none too swift.\u00a0 One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, “I’m almost out of typing paper.\u00a0 What do I do?”\u00a0 “Just use paper from the photocopier,” the secretary told her.\u00a0 With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies.<\/p>\n

Years ago, a woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.\u00a0 “Do you need some help?”\u00a0 I asked.<\/p>\n

She replied, “I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker.\u00a0 Now I can’t get into my car.\u00a0 Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?”<\/p>\n

“Hmmm, I don’t know.\u00a0 Do you have an alarm, too?”\u00a0 I asked.<\/p>\n

“No, just this remote thingy,” she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.\u00a0 As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, “Why don’t you drive over there and check about the batteries.\u00a0 It’s a long walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
