LOL I got another one this morning!

A guy called telling me he could not connect to his email from his office with his laptop. (keep in mind, hes in his 60 - 70s)

I go down there, and look at his email. While hes showing me what hes doing I see the little PC with a red X in the bottom right corner (XP). So, I asked him if he plugged his ethernet cable in, he said yes.

I see the port in back of him, and its plugged in. So, I follow it, to the floor. I look at his laptop, and whats in the ethernet port? the USB PRINTER CABLE! That's right, he jammed a diagonal USB cable into a wide-telephone port. hake:
