I was exploring a website previously mentioned, and found this:

Scroll down six pictures.

After perusing this page, click on Pizzi Antichi for some nice laces.

I don't think this has been on the list before - but I maybe wrong!

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?' 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.'

So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)




















TWO
I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart 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 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.

THREE
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!!)

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
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 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'

PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

 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 paper from the photocopier', 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.

Brunette, by the way!!

 SIX
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, 'I just gave him some ant  killer..'

Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'

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

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh.it is all
true...

Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!
01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

02.. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first









03. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

04. People call at 9 PM and ask,did I wake you?

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.










06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

08. You can eat supper at 4 PM.

09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won't get much worse.

15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather
service.

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them
either.

18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

19. You can't remember who sent you this list.

20.And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

Forward this to every one you can remember right now!









I just love this one!









Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the
same night.

This year we will experience 4 unusual dates ... 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 
11/11/11 .
Now go figure this out -- take the last 2 digits of the 
year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it will equal 
 111
