Funny Story,, a little risky,,, star if you like it..?!


Question: There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for 'Termination without Cause'.

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):



Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'

Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'

Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'

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

Operator: 'Went away?'

Caller: 'They disappeared.'

Operator: 'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?'

Caller: 'Nothing.'

Operator: 'Nothing??'

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

Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'

Caller: 'How do I tell?'

Operator: 'Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??'

Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'

Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'

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

Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'

Caller: 'What's a monitor?'

Operator: '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??'

Caller: 'I don't know.'

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

Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'

Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.

Caller: 'Yes, it is.'

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

Caller: 'No.'

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

Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'

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

Caller: 'I can't reach.'

Operator: 'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'

Caller: 'No.'

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

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

Operator: 'Dark??'

Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.

' Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'

Caller: 'I can't.'

Operator: 'No? Why not??'

Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'

Operator: 'A power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.

Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??'

Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'

Operator: '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.'

Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?'

Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'

Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'

Operator: 'Tell them you're too f --- ing stupid to own a computer!!!!!'

I believe that's an urban myth like this one
Poor Planning
This letter came from a poor old bricklayer who had suffered an accident. He has been besieged with the bureaucracy of
an insurance company in filling out the forms for a Workmen's Compensation claim. I would like to read to you a little bit
of this letter that he wrote back to the insurance company.

"I am writing in response to your request for additional information. In Block 10 of the accident reporting form I put, 'poor
planning', as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully, and I trust that the
following details will be sufficient.

I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six story building.
When I completed my work I discovered that I had about five hundred pounds of bricks left over.

Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using the pulley, which fortunately was
attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor. Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, slung the
barrel out, and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went back to the ground, untied the rope, holding it tightly to assure a
slow descent of the 500 pounds of brick.
You will note that in Block 11 of the accident reporting form that I weigh 135 pounds. Due to my surprise at being jerked
off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind, and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a
rather rapid rate up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming down. This explains
the fractured skull and broken collar bone.
Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep
into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope in
spite of my pain.

At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground, and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Devoid
of the weight of the bricks, the barrel now weighed approximately fifty pounds. I refer you again to my weight in Block 11.
As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the
barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles and the lacerations of my legs and lower body.

The encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks. And fortunately,
only three vertebrae were broken. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the bricks in pain, unable to stand,
and watching the empty barrel six floors above me, I again lost my presence of mind and let go of the rope.

lol..very funny.

lol!!!
i think thats meee!! lol :)
