Last week my wife and I purchased
a new computer. We ran into some difficulties while setting it
up, so we decided to call the customer support phone number we found
in the manual. I picked up the phone and called the number.
A man answered the phone
and I explained the problem to him. He began rattling off
computer jargon.
This confused us even more.
"Sir," I said politely,
"can you explain what I should do as if I were a small child?"
"Okay," the computer
support guy said, "son, could you please put your mommy on the
phone?"
