Really funny joke. a bit long, but it's worth reading!?

The Computer-Illiterate Support Call





';Hello, Raymond Michaels, computer assistant, may I help you?';


';Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.';


';What sort of trouble?';


';Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.';


';Went away?';


';They disappeared.';


';Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?';


';Nothing.';


';Nothing?';


';It's blank. It won't accept anything when I type.';


';Are you still in WordPerfect or did you get out?';


';How do I tell?';


[Uh-oh. Well, let's give it a try anyway.]


';Can you see the C-prompt on the screen?';


';What's a sea prompt?';


[Uh-huh. I thought so. Let's try a different tactic.]


';Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?';


';There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type.';


[Ah, at least he knows what a cursor is. Sounds like a hardware problem. I wonder if he kicked out his monitor's power plug.]


';Does your monitor have a power indicator?';


';What's a monitor?';


';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?';


';I don't know.';


';Well, then look at the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?';


[Sound of rustling and jostling.]


';Yes, I think so.';


';Great! Follow the cord to the plug and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.';


[Pause.]


';Yes, it is.';


[Hmm. Well, that's interesting. I doubt he would have accidentally turned it off, and I don't want to send him hunting for the switch because I don't know what kind of monitor he has and it's bound to have more than one switch on it. Maybe the video cable is loose or something.]


';When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?';


';No.';


';Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.';


';Okay, here it is.';


';Follow it for me and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.';


';I can't reach it.';


';Uh-huh. Well, can you see if it is?';


';No.';


';Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?';


';Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-- it's because it's dark.';


';Dark?';


';Yes. The office light is off and the only light I have is coming from the window.';


';Well, turn on the office light then.';


';I can't.';


';No? Why not?';


';Because there's a power outage.';


';A Power--';


[AAAAAAAArgh!]


';A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?';


';Well, yes, I kept them in the closet.';


';Good! Go get them, 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.';


';Really? Is it that bad?';


';Yes, I'm afraid it is.';


';Well, all right then, I suppose. What should I tell them?';


';Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer.';


[Click.]Really funny joke. a bit long, but it's worth reading!?
LOL...very funny.


Thanks for a Laugh..Really funny joke. a bit long, but it's worth reading!?
Ha.... thats not funny

i think this is a funny joke but you should cut it short when it says power outage, that part made me chuckle but the rest didnt =/
That's great!! And you know that has probably really happened!!!
booooooooo
I think it's hilarious--I work with some of those people! Star for you~
Yeah, cut it off at the power outage line like the guy above me suggested. I though that was the punch line. Too much added on after a good laugh! Otherwise, great joke!
lol!! That is funny!!
hahahaahahaha that was funny
here is a long one that is funny


A man had a terrible passion for baked beans, but they always had a somewhat lively effect on him. After he met the woman of his dreams, he made the supreme sacrifice and gave them up; he couldn't imagine subjecting his new wife to his beastly emissions. On his birthday, his car broke down, so he called his wife and told her he'd have to walk home. He walked past a cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans overwhelmed him. Since he was still a couple of miles from home, he figured he could indulge, and then walk off any ill effects. So he had three extra-large helpings of beans, and he ';put-putted'; all the way home. His wife met him at the door and seemed somewhat excited. She exclaimed, ';Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!” She blindfolded him, and led him to his chair at the head of the table, making him promise not to peek. At this point, he was beginning to feel another one coming on. Just as she was about to remove the blindfold, the telephone rang and she went to answer it.


While she was gone, he seized the opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was not only loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He gasped and felt for his napkin and fanned the air about him. He had just started to feel better, when another urge came on. This one sounded like a diesel engine revving, and smelled worse. He tried flapping his arms, to clear the air. But another one snuck out, and the windows rattled, the dishes on the table shook, and a minute later, the flowers on the table were dead.


When he heard his wife ending her conversation, he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top of it. He was the picture of innocence when she walked in.


Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if he had peeked at the dinner. He assured her he had not, so she removed the blindfold and yelled, ';Surprise!!!';


To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated around the table for his surprise birthday party.





Please pick me for best answer i am working my way up to level 3


Thanks
