from the word perfect help desk.
this is a true story from word perfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired. Â 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." Â Â
"Went away?" Â
"They disappeared."
"Hmmm. so what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" Â
"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?" Â Â
"Nevermind. Â 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." Â "Well then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Â Â Can you see that?"
"Yes , I think so."
"Great. Â Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it is plugged into the wall." Â
"....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. Â I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." Â
"...O.k, Here it is." Â
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach." Â
"Uh huh. Â Well , can you see if it is?" Â
"No"
"even if you maybe put your knee on something  and lean way over?" Â
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle- it's because it's dark." Â Â Â
"Dark?" Â
"Yes- Â the office light is off, Â and the only light I have is coming in from the window." Â "Well, turn on the office light." Â Â
"I can't." Â "No? Why not?" Â "Because there was a power outage." Â Â
"A power.. .a power outage? Â Â Ah O.K we've got it licked now. Â Â Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well yes, I keep them in the closet." Â
"Good. Â Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Â Â Then take it back to the store you bought it from." Â Â
"Really? Is it that bad?" Â Â Â
"yes, I'm afraid so." Â
"Well all right then, Â Â I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid  to own a computer."  Â
