OUR JOBS ARE SAFE AS LONG AS THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE . .   
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.

TWO.

I was checking out at the local Target 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 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.'

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 in this remote. 
  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.'

FIVE.
Several years ago, we had a junior typist 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 
junior took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the 
photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.

SIX.
My neighbour works in the I.T.  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 branches who had this question: 'I've got smoke coming from the back 
of my terminal.  Do you guys have a fire downtown?'

SEVEN.
Police in Dubbo NSW interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander 
on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopier 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.  Life 
is tough...

It's tougher if you're stupid
