      How do these people  survive?


      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

      (Unbelievable but sadly  true...)



      TWO

      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.. 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 woman 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.'

      (keep shuddering!!) 


        
      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 don't know. 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 paper from the 
      photocopier', 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. 

      Brunette, by the  way!!

      SIX

      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. The 
      dispatcher tells her to give the  kid some 
      Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says,

      'I  just gave him some ant killer......'


      Dispatcher:  'Rush him in to emergency!' 



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

       stupid!!!! [or is it?]
