Tech support helpline call. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing for "Termination without Cause."
Customer Support: "Computer assistant; may I help you?"
GUY: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with the internet."
CS: "What sort of trouble?"
GUY: "Well, I was just searching for an escort, and all of a sudden the ad went away."
CS: "Went away?"
GUY: "It disappeared."
CS: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
GUY: "Nothing."
CS: "Nothing?"
GUY: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
CS: "Are you still in the web browser, or did you get out?"
GUY: "How do I tell?"
CS: "Can you see the window on the screen?"
GUY: "What's a window?"
CS: "Never mind. Can you move the mouse cursor around on the screen?"
GUY: "There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
CS: "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
GUY: "What's a monitor?"
CS: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
GUY: "I don't know."
CS: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
GUY: "Yes, I think so."
CS: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
GUY: ".......Yes, it is."
CS: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
GUY: "No."
CS: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
GUY: ".......Okay, here it is."
CS: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
GUY: "I can't reach."
CS: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
GUY: "No."
CS: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
GUY: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
CS: "Dark?"
GUY: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in Reviewom the window."
CS: "Well, turn on the office light then."
GUY: "I can't."
CS: "No? Why not?"
GUY: "Because there's a power oueforum.xxxe."
CS: "A power... A power oueforum.xxxe? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
GUY: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
CS: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it Reviewom."
GUY: "Really? Is it that bad?"
CS: "Yes, I'm aReviewaid it is."
GUY: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
CS: "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
