"Rasberry Beret" by Prince

1. 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...


2. I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash 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 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 see 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 the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last 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 the movie, "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 sandwitch...

7. 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 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 officers pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the
wasn't suspect confessed....

9. A worried mother called 911 and asked the dispatcher is she needed to take her child to the hospital. He was eating ants. The dispatcher told her to give him some Benadryl and he should be fine. The mother said, "I just game him some ant killer..." The dispatcher replied, "Rush him into emergency!"
