The other day someone asked me to go see how full something was. I came back and said it was about 3/4 full. They were bewildered. Didn't know what I meant. Kinda sorta got mad at me, saying "don't use all those complicated numbers and math and stuff. Don't nobody around here know any fancy fractions, who uses fractions??". They were serious. Weren't joking. Really had no idea what I meant by 3/4 full. So I said it's over half full, hoping like heck that they at least understood that. They did, saying "ok, that's better, now I know what you mean."

Yeah well don't feel bad......Lady at the Dish TV Customer Service ask be how far the down load was along...told her the same thing, about 3/4's.....she said she doesn't DO fractions.
So told her, "If the load bar was a dollar, we are at 3 quarters"......She says, "Oh yeah"

You GOT to be kidding. Rather, we GOT to be kidding. 'Cept we're not. And that's just crazy.

Not as crazy as handing $5 dollar bill to the kid at the till at Menards (big box home improvement place)in the garden center....for a $2.49 cent item.....
He stood there looking at it.....He had been ringing up everything up on peoples credit/debit cards....
Told him, "That's a $5 dollar bill US currency, and as far as I know is still legal tinder"....
So he take it, rings it up and put it in the till......closed it.
I ask him about my change?.....Again he looked at me with the "Huh?? eyes".....
Well the till isn't going to reopen till he had a supervisor keys in a code....
Get my change, and he was giving me the "stink eye" like it was my fault he was a Dumas.....as I was walking away I was listening to the folks in line muttering.
Heck if I would have know that..... I would have gotten out my change purse....and counted out the change to the penny.....
What a Richard Cranium...
Now That IS a Joke........

So, dude, I was like at work today and this really, really old guy, must have been 50, hands me, get this, money. I'm like what century are you from?
Seriously, man, that is just wrong. Bitcoin should have an old folks "get a life" coin.
For real.
Some years ago, I talked to the bank manager about getting a debit card for someone in Guatemala. Out or curiosity, I guess, she asked me where that was at because she didn't know too much about Europe. I replied that it was in Central America. The look on her face told me she was still confused, so I said, "south of Mexico". It's a lack of education, no doubt. She had the graduation papers, just didn't know nothin.
Well, now down here in South Florida we might have some immigrants and ignorant. LOL
You get your Cubans hating you Puerto Ricans. And damn near ever black hating every other black regardless.
But, my redneck breathern are the wisest of all. They refer to all latinos as South American's and Puerto Ricans as damned foreigners!
My favorite is when Mexican's are considered South American!
Just to be an advocate for a certain fairness...There's something that we all don't know. Ok there, I said it. I mean, a smart-butt can jump up and give me some calculus and challenge me to show that I know what it is. However...
...some stuff is just basic. Or should be. Three freaking quarters? Knowing what a 5 dollar bill is? It must've finally happened - that day we warned ourselves about that would come about from using pocket calculators too much. The day when someone really doesn't know what 3/4 is or a 5-dollar bill and doesn't know to give change from 2.49...to see this happen in reality is just really weird. Reminds me of another incident a while back when somebody didn't know that birds lay eggs and don't nurse their young with mammary glands, and another person defend it by saying that they went to a pretty good school but never once heard anything about birds and eggs.
What's that thread? - "When does it stop being primitive?"
This is when:
...said it was about 3/4 full...They were bewildered...got mad at me, saying "who uses fractions??"Or, is this when it instead got really primitive?...handing $5 dollar bill...for a $2.49 cent item...looked at me with the "Huh?? eyes"

Wait! What? Back up. What's this bird thing. They lay eggs?
A TINY CABIN IN ALBERTA
A social worker from a big city in Ontario recently transferred
to the prairies of Alberta and was on the first tour of her new territory
when she came upon the tiniest cabin she had ever seen in her life.
Intrigued, she went up and knocked on the door.
"Anybody home?" she asked.
"Yep," came a kid's voice through the door.
"Is your father there?" asked the social worker.
"Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in," said the kid.
"Well, is your mother there?" persisted the social worker.
"Ma? Nope, she left just afore I got here," said the kid.
"But," protested the social worker, (thinking that surely she will
need to intervene in this situation) "are you never together as a family?"
"Sure, but not here," said the kid through the door.
"This is the outhouse!"
Government workers are so very smart.
Aren't you overjoyed that they'll soon be handling all our financial,
educational and medical needs?

In one, there's a particular moment when a chimp (or gorilla?) is moving his hand funny in the mirror, as if he's testing and recognizing that it's his reflection. I thought that was interesting.
