Oldies vs Computers
As someone who is "good with computers" I get a lot of calls from people who've got problems. Some of them even have problems with their computers.
Back many years ago working for a telecoms company, I was called to a senior secretary who "had put a disk into the drive and couldn't get it out". She had one of the first Mac II machines with two drive slots. But only one drive.
Opening up the case revealed stacks of floppy disks that she'd been posting through the hole in the case for weeks. She'd only decided there was a problem when her boss wanted one of them back...

Chinese Old-Agers are Funny
I answer the phone, and get asked the question immediately;
"How you open bwoban?
"Errr...the BROADBAND is always open and connected sir. You just use a program that needs to connect to the internet and Windows should just connect through the broadband immediately."
"Noooooo, how you open bwoban?"
"If everything's working ok, it should already be open and connected sir." Something's a bit odd here, can't quite place me finger on it though.
"Nooooo. I got scwewdwiver in the side of bwoban, how you open bwoban?"
This old bloke had decided to take his leased modem APART for no fucking reason other than it looked warm. Stupid old take-away twat.
