Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a good night’s rest and are ready for a new day. I’ve been awake since just a little before 5:00 and Haley finally ran me out of bed at 5:45. Oh well, maybe I can get to work a little early today.
In the process of cleaning up my office last night and filing away 2010 papers, I ran across a book of emails I have collected over the last 3 or 4 years. I thought this one was cute so I will share it. I may have sent it to some of you previously. If so, maybe you can enjoy another chuckle.
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”, she replied. So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets. (Unbelievable but sadly true…)
I was checking out at the local Walmart 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 a 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.
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!!!)
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 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….”
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 the paper from the photo copier”, the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photo copier and proceeded to make five “blank” copies. (Just to make all my blond friends feel better…she was a brunette)
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, “Well I just gave him some ant killer….” Dispatcher: “Rush him to emergency!”
I hope maybe this brightened your day a little; maybe got you to smile, maybe giggle.
After a very long, trying phone call with a customer, who was not understanding anything he was saying, I heard my son, TJ, say….”I can fix a lot of things; but I absolutely cannot fix stupid!”
Have a great day – embrace it and all it has to offer.
