We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that
one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the
opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made
at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a
1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's
not." Four is larger than two.."
We haven't used Sears repair since.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk
a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "you
gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know,
but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back." She sighed and went
to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me
back the quarter, and said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of
thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in
change..
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local
township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign
on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!
I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person
behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only
had iceburg lettuce.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee
asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" To
which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled
knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was
crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew
what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light
is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!"

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the
company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We
should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at
each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a lunch at
Texas Instruments.

I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and
for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.

When
my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were
told the keys had been locked in it. We went
to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I
instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
"Hey," I announced to the technician,
