HOW DO THESE PEOPLE SURVIVE!!! Recently, when I went to
>McDonald's I saw

>McNuggets.
> I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen
>nuggets", said

> "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.

> Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day
>she

> "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her.
> With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper,
>put it

> I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was
>towed

>repair and
> the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister". I
>asked the

> IDIOTS AT WORK... Sign in a gas station: Coke --

> IDIOTS & COMPUTERS My neighbor works in the operations department in
>the

>woman
> in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke

> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> IDIOTS ARE EASY TO PLEASE I was sitting in my science class, when

> My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I
>explained

> Needless to say, she was very disappointed.

> Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a
>metal
> colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy

> The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police

> Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
