"Hello, my computer isn't working."

Is it turned on?

"No."

Is it plugged in?

"Hmm, I can't tell, let me get a flashlight."

Flashlight?

"Yeah, the power went out hours ago."

joke/fake viruses are always fun...

back in '97 or so, someone sent me a few of them, one called "cupholder"

all it did was eject the cd-rom tray!

I've heard stories of customers calling them that before...
