WordPerfect Customer Support employee. Employee was fired! Operator: 'Ridge Hall, customer assistance; may I help you?' Caller: 'Yes, well I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.' Oper: 'What sort of trouble?' C: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.' Oper: 'Went away?' C: 'They disappeared.' Oper: 'Hmmmm. So what does your screen look like now?' C: 'Nothing.' Oper: 'Nothing?' C: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything I type.' Oper: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?' C: 'How do I tell?' Oper: 'Can you see the 'C' prompt on the screen?' C: 'What's a sea-prompt?' Oper: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?' C: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type.' Oper: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator?' C: 'What's a monitor?' Oper: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a tv. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?' C: 'I don't know.' Oper: '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.' Oper: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.' C: 'Yes, it is.' Oper: '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' Oper: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the cable.' C: 'Ok, here it is.' Oper: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it is plugged securely into the back of your computer.' C: 'I can't reach it.' Oper: 'Ok, well can you see it?' C: 'No...' Oper: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?' C: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle..it's because it's dark.' Oper: 'Dark?' C: 'Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.' Oper: 'Well, turn on the light then.' C: 'I can't.' Oper: 'No? Why not?' C: 'Because there's a power failure.' Oper: 'A power..... a power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in?' C: ''Well, yes, I keep them in a closet.' Oper: '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?' Oper: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.' C; 'Well alright then, I suppose. What do I tell them?' Oper: 'Tell them you're too d@mned stupid to own a computer!'
