So, let’s pretend in the future somewhere, I will run a helpdesk.
If I do, I think I’ll make a huge banner to hang over the front desk, prominently displayed for those coming in to see:
Silly Retardeds! Computers are for Smarties!
Do you think that would go over well?
Yes. It would go over smashingly well.
I say do it.
enabler!
computards!
PLEASE make this.
I wore my PEBKAC shirt to work today – “Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair”.
I bought it while doing helpdesk at Nintendo.
It works *especially* well at Microsoft.
I’m not stupid, I’m ADVANCED. (thanks, GIR)
understand the keyboard/chair interface problem. Also known as ID10T error.
an example : “my computer just kicks out the CD when I put it in.” I ask, “what side is the label on?”
you can guess that one. How about this one:
“When I push the mouse up, the arrow goes down” I ask, “what direction is the mouse’s cord facing?”
He answers “oh, you mean the tail?”
the hold button is your friend
Just remember, the ‘p’ at the end of the ‘help’ in ‘help desk’ is silent and then it all makes so much more sense…
aw, you can do better than that. I mean, that works, but there needs to be a PUN or something…
I thought the “retardeds” was a retarded way to say retarded, thus concealing a recursive joke.
Can’t hit a home run all the time, you know. 🙂
Oh, I’m not saying it wasn’t funny. I’m just thinking there’s something even more pants-splitting in there somewhere. but it doesn’t seem to be bubbling up to the top of my consciousness, either…so as a former teacher of the ‘retardeds’ (the ones who actually have an excuse to act retarded) I give you my BLESSING.
i give it the thumbs up, and in fact i will submit my own resume when you do get this up and running….w00t!
