Oh! Ho! Ho! Ho!

That hurt.

Thanx for the laugh of the day. I just repeated it to our shift and they
cracked up.

ARG!! There is nothing I hate more than a customer telling me "That's not
necessary." I had a customer (who, by the way, spent about 10 hours a day
online) running Windows NT workstation 3.51 (before NT 4 came out).. why
she was running NT I have no clue except that her husband is probably
extrordinarily wealthy.. she had no clue what she was doing. Anyway she
calls insiting that the reason she cannot connect is our fault. Funny that
everyone else is not having a problem. She didn't seem to understand that
concept. So I try to start doing my normal troubleshooting routine, but
she refused to do anything I asked her, she kept insisting that her
computer worked great and we're screwed. Of course, she wouldn't get off
the phone until "our" problem was fixed. Anyway you can assume
the rest.

Tricks like that get away with crap all the time!

Cake Daddy spoils them with what ever they want and the rest of the
world has to put up with the attitude!

Next time bend 'er over your knee! Although she might enjoy that and
never leave you alone.

Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull dug <doug...@seanet.com> out of my hat:

This reminds me of the woman I got one time who, when I suggested she go look in
her computer's manual to find out what kind of internal modem was included in
her system, she sighed and said, "I hate computers! They make you read things,
and then make you read more things, and you don't understand it."

*wipes tear from eye* That was ... beautiful, man. All the same hostname.
We can only wish it was "duh".
