This little story is for Minx, who is having computer problems. I hope somebody will get a lengthy cachinnate out of it. 
“Hello Can I help you?”
“Yes, my computer is black.”
What’s your name sir?”
“Aargh…It’s Pos”, the gentleman replied
over the phone, with an agitated voice.
“Pos Sir?”
“Yes, POS, as in piece of shit”, he
replied.
“Sir, I really don’t think that there is a
need for that kind of language”, I muttered.
“I don’t care what you think, this thing is
crap. I brought it home and it won’t
work”, he cried, in an irritated voice.
“Alright Sir…Did you say that the screen
was black?”
“Nah, the whole thing is black, I took it out
of the box and set it atop my desk, and it won’t work”, he answered, whilst
ruffling papers in the background.
“OK, we are going to go through some steps
to see what the problem is”, I uttered, whilst viewing a procedure list.
“I don’t have all day”, he screamed.
“First, I want you to press the power
button”, I uttered, with phones ringing constantly in the background.
“What’s that?”
“The big button on the front of the unit
that says power, and it has a big “D” written on it”, I replied, with an
enormous yawn.
“Nope, it’s still not working. It’s a POS…A lemon I tell you what”, he
cried, with a furious tone.
“Okay, I’m going to ask you a stupid
question, so please don’t be offended. It’s just something I have to ask, you know. Are the power cords plugged into the wall?”
“….Power cords? Do you mean to tell me that I’ve got to plug
it in the wall, and pay the power company before it will work?”
“Yes sir, you’ve got to plug it in, before
it will work”, I answered, as I tried to hold in the laughter.
“I’ll be damn; you’re not getting another
cent out of me. I’ll return the fucking
thing, he muttered, as he slammed the phone down.
