IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE SURVIVE
I saw a lady at work today putting a credit card into her floppy drive
and
pulling it out very quickly. I inquired as to what she was doing
and she
said she was shopping on the Internet, and they asked for a credit
card
number, so she was using the ATM "thingy" on her computer!
I worked with an individual who plugged their power strip back into
itself
and for the life of them could not understand why their computer would
not
turn on.
1st Person: "Do you know anything about this fax machine?"
2nd Person: "A little. What's wrong?"
1st Person: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say
all
she received was a cover sheet and a blank page. I tried it again,
and the
same thing happened."
2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?"
1st Person: "It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't want anyone
else to
read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open
it and
read it."
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 in 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 for 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."
Tech Support: "What does the screen say now.."
Person: "It says, 'Hit ENTER when ready'."
Tech Support: "Well?" Person: "How do I know when it's ready?"
Several years ago we had an intern who was none too swift.
One day he 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," she
told him.
With that, the intern took his last remaining blank piece of
paper, put
it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies.
One of our servers crashed. I was watching our new system administrator
trying to restore it. He inserted a CD and needed to type a path
name to a
directory named "i386." He started to type it and paused, asking
me
"Where's the key for that line thing?" I asked what he was talking
about,
and he said, "You know, that one that looks like an upside-down exclamation
mark." I replied, "You mean the letter "i"?" and he said,
"Yeah, that's
it!"
I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large new motor home was
towed
into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of
repair and
the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked
the
manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set
the cruise
control, then went in back to make a sandwich.
Thanks My friend,now I don't feel as dumb...lol
