Stupid People
Can people really be this stupid?


1. Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that I 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.

2. 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.

3. 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."

4. 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."

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. My neighbour 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?"

8. 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.

9. 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: Rush him in to emergency.

Happy Valentine's Day to all! Love the heart decorations.

I'm feeling BETTER. Not cured but better. Whew! I have now pinned down my 'illness' to the buffet at Carnival Foods. It all fits including the strange symptoms. Last night I actually managed to eat a small frozen dinner (well actually 2/3 of it. I've been subsisting on chicken soup, 7-up, tea, and crackers. And an occasional bratwurst in a nice fluffy roll. For some reason that seemed to go down OK. The pain in the tummy is just about gone and although I'm weak, I'm actually thinking I might survive. rotfl

The good news in all of this is I am down to a weight I haven't seen for over a year or more. I'm going to try to limit the foods and keep it there. Not skimping on fluids though. Lots of fluids IN so I won't dehydrate. Hate feeling ill. Want to get around and do things and find myself doing some anyway despite the yukky feelings. Gotta get things done or they pile up. Hope the 'feeling better feeling' continues today. Hate to be sick on Valentines!


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Afternoon everybody. wave2

I got us this morning to water standing in the yard. penguin

First good rain in over 4 weeks. Almost the first rain in 4 weeks. rolleyes

I would have said I woke up to water in the yard, except I didn't.

I took two melatonin last night, and slept from 9 till 1 am, then took a sleeping pill and dozed on and off the rest of the night, but really not much dozing. tired

I ran two miles today, but I didn't much feel like doing it. I just can't afford to take a big leap backwards. razz

I'm making fresh tuna salad for lunch. happydance

Sorta Blond I'm happy to hear you're gonna live. bravo

Have a happy Valentine's Day everyone.

Beautiful decorations MaG!! hearts

Welcome home, Space wave

Nan, can I borrow the band please? Hubby has just left for that long drive to NE...apparently doctors now want to put his mom on feeding tube. Any and all prayers for his drive appreciated.
