We had to have the <span>garage door</span> repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a &quot;large&quot; 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, &quot;Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.&quot; I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, &quot;NO, it&#8217;s not.&quot; Four is larger than two..&quot;</span></font></b><font size="2" face="Arial" color="black"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font><font size="1" face="Arial" color="black"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></font><font size="2" face="Arial" color="black"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font><font size="1" face="Arial" color="black"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"></p>

She said, &quot;you gave me too much money.&quot; I said, &quot;Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.&quot; &nbsp;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 &ldquo;We&rsquo;re sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.&quot; The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.&nbsp;</span></font></b><font size="1" face="Arial" color="black"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"><br />

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when an airport employee asked, &quot;Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?&quot; To which I replied, &quot;If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?&quot; He smiled knowingly and nodded,&nbsp; &quot;That&#8217;s why we ask.&quot;</p>

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it&#8217;s safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker. &nbsp;She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.

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&#8217;s side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. &quot;Hey,&quot; I announced to the technician, &quot;it&#8217;s open!&quot; His reply, &quot;I know. I already got that side.&quot;</p>
