    Scream
    My twin sister sent this to me today. It's funny and all too true...
    Scream
    If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their
    infamous sketch, "Who's on first?" might have turned
    out something like this:
    COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT
    ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
    COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den
    and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
    ABBOTT: Mac?
    COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
    ABBOTT: Your computer?
    COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
    ABBOTT: Mac?
    COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
    ABBOTT: What about Windows?
    COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
    ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
    COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look
    at the windows?
    ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
    COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer
    and software.
    ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
    COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I
    can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my
    business. What do you have?
    ABBOTT: Office.
    COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend
    anything?
    ABBOTT: I just did.
    COSTELLO: You just did what?
    ABBOTT: Recommend something.
    COSTELLO: You recommended something?
    ABBOTT: Yes.
    COSTELLO: For my office?
    ABBOTT: Yes.
    COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
    ABBOTT: Office.
    COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
    ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
    COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK,
    let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want
    to type a proposal. What do I need?
    ABBOTT: Word.
    COSTELLO: What word?
    ABBOTT: Word in Office.
    COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
    ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
    COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
    ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue
    "W".!
    COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you
    don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget
    that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
    ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
    COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I
    watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I
    need!
    ABBOTT: Real One.
    COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch
    reels 2, 3 and 4. Can I watch them?
    ABBOTT: Of course.
    COSTELLO: Great! With what?
    ABBOTT: Real One.
    COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch
    a movie. What do I do?
    ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".
    COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?
    ABBOTT: The blue "1".
    COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?
    ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is
    Word.
    COSTELLO: What word?
    ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
    COSTELLO: But there are three word! s in "office for
    windows"!
    ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word
    in the world.
    COSTELLO: It is?
    ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other
    Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other
    Words out there.
    COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
    ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real
    One isn't even part of Office.
    COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about
    financial bookkeeping?
    You have anything I can track my money with?
    ABBOTT: Money.
    COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
    ABBOTT: Money.
    COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
    ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
    COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
    ABBOTT: Money.
    COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
    ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
    COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer?
    How much?
    ABBOTT: One copy.
    COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
    !
    ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
    COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
    ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
    (A few days later)
    ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
    COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
    ABBOTT: Click on "START".......

    It's not even close to reality...you're most likely, today, to be talking to some clown in India or Pakistan that doesn't speak english as a first language. The communications gap is even worse.
