You laugh at the plugged in joke: Here is a true story.
Friend calls, sound doesn't work, try this, try that, OK lets start simple,

"Is it plugged in"
"Just a sec let me get behind and check, yes it is"

Ok, try this, nope, try that, nope.
"Take the card out, put it back in to be sure it's seated properly"
" Ok, give me a few minutes I'll be down to look at it."

Go down, play with this and that....
"Are you sure this is plugged in?"

Sure was!!! The speakers were plugged in the wall, they were not plugged into the sound card.

I am very happy to hear you are stupid Clay. Now you will fit in.
Glad you got it fixed.

Clay, POST SOMETHING>>>you are at 999. Not your age, I mean your post count. Don't you get a free drink or something at 1000?

Hehe. That one reminds me of the famous "cupholder."

PC Phone Tech (attempting diagnosis of PC issue): "Ma'am...do you have your original CD?"

Lady: "Yes. Yes I do."

PC Phone Tech: "Great! Please push the CD tray button and put the CD into the tray."

Lady: "Uh...what? I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused...."

PC Phone Tech: "Put the CD into the CD tray. The CD tray will 'pop' out from the front of the PC when you push button (heck, lady! just try all the buttons except the off switch!)...and then you put the CD into the tray and push the button to put it back into the PC so we can access it. You have a CD player on your PC, right? My records here show that your PC did have one when we shipped it out from our factory...."

Lady: " ...............................<long silence>........................


......Are you talking about that cupholder thing that came out of the front?"

Phone Tech: "Uh...you mean the tray that came out of the front side of your PC? Yes. Yes, I am....

Lady: "That broke off long ago. The first time I put my coffee cup onto it, in fact! Which reminds me of another complaint I have--that thing was WAY too flimsy!"

:-P

An oldie but a goodie, CS!:rock:

On the other hand, I once had a tech guy tell me that all the "I thought it was a cupholder" stories are false, or at least that he had never heard of anybody ever getting a real call like that...after which he said "But you'd be surprised how many experts who know exactly what they're doing have put cups there just because the *#&@(# thing was out and they weren't thinking about it at the time!"
:rotfl:

LOL! Yeah. All too easy to do, I would imagine, if your "normally-multi-tasking" brain isn't running on all cylinders on a given day....

Truth be told, I've never heard a "true" cupholder story either (and I conjured that one up for purposes of filling out the thread ^), but it could really happen, I'm quite sure.

The next dumb thing I do myself...

...will only help convince me of that. :-P

Hopefully I won't cut off any fingers while using the table saw....

I once spent five whole minutes turning my apartment upside down looking for my keys. The whole time I was twirling them around my finger on the other hand.:dead:


Oh, I believe it. "Which one's the 'any' key?"

LOL! Touche (re: the "any" key.........)!!!

I cannot even BEGIN to count the times I' ve mislaced my own key-set here. I'm quite famous for it, in fact, within the family....

My IQ (relatively high) notwithstanding, they must think I 'm a complete dolt. And, in all honestly, I cannot prove them wrong, in practice.

I might only hope to prove them wrong on paper....

MIGHT, being the operative word.--so far, I probably haven't done it.

:D
