    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, a nd 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 
                             From Kansas City

   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?!' 
              She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS

    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, 'its open!'  His
                 reply, 'I know.  I already got that side.'
   This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS
