Here is the file I refered to earlier.
This is a true story from the WordPerfect help line. Needless to 
  say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is 
  currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination 
  without Cause".
 
 
  Actual dialog of a former Word perfect Customer Support employee:
       
  "Ridge Hall 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?"
       
  "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
       
  "What's a sea-prompt?"
       
  "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."
       
  "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 on the back of the monitor and find where the power
 
  cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
       
  "Yes, I think so."
       
  "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged 
  into the wall."
       
  ".......Yes, it is."
       
  "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."
       
  "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 
  in from the window."
       
  "Well, turn on the office light then."
       
  "I can't."
       
  "No? Why not?"
       
  "Because there's a power outage."
       
  "A power... 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 keep them in the closet."
       
  "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."
       
  "Really? Is it that bad?"
       
  "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
       
  "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
       
  "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
