The Older We Get…

Very fun and cute situations. This will make you smile at least once

The older we  get….

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

(Unbelievable  but sadly  true…)

TWO

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.

THREE

A woman 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.’

(keep shuddering!!)

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 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 don’t know. 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….’

PLEASE  just lay down before you hurt yourself  !!!

FIVE

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 paper
from
the photocopier’,  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.

Brunette,  by the way!!

SIX

A mother calls  911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs  to
take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had  eaten ants. The
dispatcher
tells her to give  the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine,  the
mother
says, ‘I just gave him some  ant killer……’

Dispatcher:  ‘Rush him in to emergency!’

Life is  tough. It’s even tougher if  you’re stupid!!!!
