from the word perfect help desk.
this is a true story from word perfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired.  However he is currently suing the word perfect organization for "Termination without cause"
"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with word perfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."  ÂÂ
"Went away?" ÂÂ
"They disappeared."
"Hmmm. so what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" ÂÂ
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in wordperfect or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"Whats a sea-prompt?"  ÂÂ
"Nevermind.  Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor,  I told you, it won't accept anything I type." Does your monitor have a power indicator?"  "What's a monitor?"  "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a t.v  Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."  "Well then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it.   Can you see that?"
"Yes , I think so."
"Great.  Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it is plugged into the wall." ÂÂ
"....Yes , it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one." "No"
"Well, there are.  I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." ÂÂ
"...O.k, Here it is." ÂÂ
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach." ÂÂ
"Uh huh.  Well , can you see if it is?" ÂÂ
"No"
"even if you maybe put your knee on something  and lean way over?" ÂÂ
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle- it's because it's dark."   ÂÂ
"Dark?" ÂÂ
"Yes-  the office light is off,  and the only light I have is coming in from the window."  "Well, turn on the office light."  ÂÂ
"I can't."  "No? Why not?"  "Because there was a power outage."  ÂÂ
"A power.. .a power outage?   Ah O.K we've got it licked now.   Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well yes, I keep them in the closet." ÂÂ
"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 from."  ÂÂ
"Really? Is it that bad?"   ÂÂ
"yes, I'm afraid so." ÂÂ
"Well all right then,   I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid  to own a computer."  ÂÂ
