Not Too Swift...
1) 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.
2) 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!"
3) 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.
4) She's been doing temp work at various offices. At one place she became
the resident expert on the photocopy machine. One day there was a big
backup. She went over to help and found that no one knew how to stop the
copier from "punching" three holes down the side of each copy. She opened
the paper tray, removed the three-hole paper and solved the problem.
