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
we cannot do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me
back $1 and 75 cents in change.

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 iceberg 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 stop-light on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the
street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker 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?

I attended a "good-bye" luncheon for an old and dear co-worker. 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, "It's open!" His
reply, "I know. I already got that side."

When I left Hawaii and was transferred to FL, I still had the Hawaiian
plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii . I was parking
somewhere (I can't remember) and a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from
Hawaii to here?" I looked at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the
Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge." He nodded his head and said "Cool!"
