Give Microsoft a Chance:
- Customer: “I’m having trouble installing Microsoft Word.”
Tech Support: “Tell me what you’ve done.”
Customer: “I typed A: SETUP”
- Tech Support: “Ma’am, remove the disk and tell me what it says.”
Customer: “It says [PC manufacturer] Restore and Recovery disk.”
- Tech Support: “Insert the MS Word setup disk.”
Customer: “What?”
- Tech Support: “Did you Microsoft Word?”
Customer: “No…”
In my day: Clean One-liners:
- ‘Grass’ was mowed.
- ‘Coke’ was a cold drink.
- ‘Pot’ was something your mother cooked dinner in.
- ‘Rock music’ was your grandmother’s lullaby.
- ‘Aids’ were helpers in the Principal’s office.
- ‘Chip’ meant a piece of wood.
- ‘Hardware’ was found in the hardware store.
- ‘Software’ wasn’t even a word.
- We are the last generation to believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
- No wonder people call us ‘old and confused’ and say there is a generation gap.
