:stoned stories of why we need education!

story 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?" "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.

story two

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. 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 asked me "Do you know how much this is?" , and 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 what had just happened.....

story 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".

story 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 un-locker. 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."

story 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 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.


CONCLUSION: Life is tough...... It's tougher if you're stupid.
