Subject: stupid!

You Can't Fix Stupid!

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.The paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what happened a
couple of months ago. I was checking out at the local Foodland with just a few
items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine, 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.MAKES YOU WONDER HOW THESE PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE!!! A lady at work was
seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very
quickly. When 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 unlocked. Now I can't get into my car. Do
you think they (pointing to a distant convenient 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 female driver had set the
"cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7.IDIOTS & COMPUTERS 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 the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used to work with a guy that fell into this category. His name is Brian and the Boss' name was Luis.

One day a mishap at work occurred after I'd left for the day and a room flooded. Brian told me the next day that the boss was pissed. 'Luis just kept running around yelling incompetence, incompetence.’ Then Brian looked at me and asked 'What does that mean?' I told him he was talking about him.

Another time I was showing him a spreadsheet I'd created and he said he knew of another way to create the data. After showing me I said 'ah, that's six one way, or half a dozen another'. He started to walk away a second later then turned to me and said 'hey, ain't that the same thing'.

Sad part is that these people are eligible to vote.

Lol my g/f used to think cruise ships got their power by a big power cord that was connected to land.
And she thought toilets were electric because they swirled around.
