Clean Joke of the Day! Friday October 25, 2013 Todays category: Stupidity Technical Support This is reportedly an actual phone dialog of a former WordPerfect customer support employee: Support: Hello, Technical Support; may I help you? Customer: Yes, well, Im having trouble with WordPerfect. S: What sort of trouble? C: Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away. S: Went away? C: They disappeared. S: Hmm. So what does your screen look like now? C: Nothing. S: Nothing? C: Its blank; it wont accept anything when I type. S: Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out? C: How do I tell? S: Can you see the C: prompt on the screen? C: Whats a sea-prompt? S: Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen? C: There isnt any cursor: I told you, it wont accept anything I type. S: Does your monitor have a power indicator? C: Whats a monitor? S: Its the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when its on? C: I dont know. S: Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that? C: Yes, I think so. S: Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if its plugged into the wall. C: Yes, it is. S: When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one? C: No. S: Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable. C: Okay, here it is. S: Follow it for me, and tell me if its plugged securely into the back of your computer. C: I cant reach. S: Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is? C: No. S: Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over? C: Oh, its not because I dont have the right angle-its because its dark. S: Dark? C: Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window. S: Well, turn on the office light then. C: I cant. S: No? Why not? C: Because theres a power outage. S: A power?!? A *power* outage? Aha! Okay, weve got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in? C: Well, yes, I keep them in the closet. S: 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. C: Really? Is it that bad? S: Oh, yes, Im afraid it is. C: Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them? S: Tell them youre just too darn stupid to own a computer.
