Illiteracy?

A man bought a new gadget (unassembled, of course) and after reading and rereading the assembly instructions still couldn't figure out how it went together. Finally, he sought the help of an old handyman working in his backyard. The old fellow picked up the pieces, studied them, and then began assembling the gadget. In just a few minutes he has it all put together.

"That's amazing," said the man. "And you did it without even looking at the instructions!"

The handyman replied, "Fact is, I can't read, and when a fellow can't read he's got to think."

I used to work with a older man at a grocery chain. He stocked just like everyone else, but by picture association. He was a bagger/ carry out boy. Great personality with co- workers/customers. Every once in a while he’d volunteer to get an item for a customer at checkout. He’d quietly come by and say, hey, where is that item shelved. You’d tell him. Off he’d go. I am not sure many people knew he couldn’t read. Gone now for years. Great guy.
