True story from a Novell NetWare SysOp:
   
   Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
   Tech Rep: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"
   Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty
   period. How do I go about getting that fixed?"
   Tech Rep: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"
   Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
   Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am.
   Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How
   did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"
   Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a
   promotional. It just has '4X' on it." At this point the Tech Rep had
   to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been
   using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it
   off the drive.

Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse. 
The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their 
contract's sick-leave provisions. 

One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief negotiator held 
aloft the morning edition of the newspaper, "This man," he 
announced, "Called in Sick yesterday!" 

There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who 
had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score. 

The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator. "Wow," he 
said. "Think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn't been 
sick!"

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick
up our car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally
locked in it.  We went to the service department and found amechanic 
working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door.  As I
watched from the passenger's side, I instinctively tried the door
handle and discovered it was open. "Hey," I announced to the
technician,"it's open." The young man answered, "I already got that side."
