To prove just how smart the people who work for McDonalds are I told my brother that I would order a cheeseburger without cheese to find out what the guy would say. He did just what I thought he would do, he called back to the grill for a cheeseburger with no cheese instead of handing me a burger off the warmer. The guy working the grill didn’t catch on either, because he wrapped it in a special wrapper instead of suggesting that he give me a regular hamburger.
I was working in a large Western National Park and a woman who was a notorious chain smoker came out of her office and lit up a cigarette. I said, “What are you up to?.” She took a long drag off of her cigarette and with smoke coming out of her mouth and nose said, “I just came out for a little fresh air”!
So, this chick that works in Tech Support with us, let’s call her Elaine, is doing training, and telling all the students what to do in case of a “one-zero” error. We pulled her aside to explain that that actually said I/O error (as in Input/Output) but she continued on with her teaching, explaining that it had to be a “one-zero” error, since computers communicate in binary code, so everything had to be either a 1 or a 0. I think its obvious who “1” and who is a “zero.” Duh!
R.C. Gaitlin, 21, walked up to two patrol officers who were showing their squad car computer equipment to children in a Detroit neighborhood. When he asked how the system worked, the officers asked him for a piece of identification. Gaitlin gave them his driver’s license, they entered it into the computer, and moments later they arrested Gaitlin because information on the screen showed that Gaitlin was wanted for a two-year-old armed robbery in St. Louis, Missouri.
