Point, counter point? Or is that point of view? Or view the porn?
Never understood how blood and violence is acceptable but the sight of the human body is just horrible and a sexual perversion… Bunch of farking hypocrites is what I says… Or it could be the chili barking…

Gotta love the unbending mind…
My favorite from the tech support end: This woman comes in. She’s from Piedmont. (This tells folks around here a lot about what comes next)
Anyway, she starts off by spending about 5 minutes telling me how much she knows about computers and how she has been using AO-HELL for over 2 years now and knows everything about a computer.
So I stand and listen and then she finely gets to the point. Her problem is that the computer was acting slow and taking a long time to connect.
2 year old machine with her and 3 others on AO-HELL. Running win 95 with 16 meg of ram and a 200 meg hd. Out of space. She can look at this and bring it in if she can’t clear some stuff herself… Yea right…
So I start with telling her to go to the My Computer icon on the desktop.
Now we are face to face. I wish it wasn’t so as this is a 250+ pound 5 foot 4 inch female in a dirty torn tee shirt and stretch pants (also dirty also torn). Bathing didn’t seem to have taught in the school, where I suspect she spent most of her learning years playing hooky, either. She also smoked. And drank. But back to the moment.
So we are standing there and she gets a funny expression on her face and is silent for just a minute so I repeat myself and tell her to go to the My Computer icon on the desktop. More silence and then she goes:
What’s an icon?
I had to turn and walk away for a minute to prepare for this one. And to snicker and chortle. Then turn and spent 30 minutes talking her through everything only to have to do it over the phone again later. And then to have her take the equipment somewhere else to be fixed…
Some days I think about getting back into the biz. Then I think of this and a few other similar episodes and suddenly feel much better about being gainfully unemployed…

Good read!
Probably not work safe. And certainly not for looking at when you are working and have to be quiet. It took me quite a while to quit ROFLMAO. Cat came down to the kitchen (where I was then and am now) to see what the choking, laughing, crying and snorting was about. This sh*t is funny as hell!
Beware, toilet grade humor ahead… 😉

“I’ve been lax this morning because the OS X Intel torrent finally downloaded. I approached my computer with apprehension and palpable turgidity—could this be the fabled x86 OS X ISO? Had I found the Grail of legend, the last disk from which Steve Jobs accessed data before he passed from this world into the darkling plain of the superego?”

Okay, I’ve gotten this or almost this letter before and deleted it. Just got this one and started to delete but it’s just too much to be real. I think… If he is for real he must have huge balls… Or huge somethings… So here it is with names left in but all contact info removed:

Hi
This is a legitimate appeal for ladies only.
You will find my contact at the end of this message.
I’m an Italian guy,I live in Italy and my name is Paolo.I live in Roma.
I’m sending this message to the people because I’m bored to live in Italy,I’m looking for a lady what could invite me in usa.I seek a rich american lady who desires a young guy for marriage.
I’m serious and I’m not here for playing.I don’t seek a rich woman because I want she buys me an expensive car ,luxury jewels,watches…….I don’t seek this.
I seek her love….I’m a simple person..I just would be happy to stay there with her instead of here.
I would love to find a wealthy lady who lives in one of the following places in usa or nearby:
1) “The treasure coast”,I mean north east Broward County or east Palm Beach county(FLORIDA)
2)Honolulu (Hawaii)
3)Santa Barbara,Montecito,Bel Air,Beverly Hills,Encino or San Luis Obispo(California)
4)Reno(Nevada)
5)Las Vegas(nevada)
6)Atlanta(georgia)
7)Jupiter,Stuart,Coral Springs,Jensen Beach,Boynton Beach,Deepwater,Hutchinson
Island or Miami(Florida)
Considering that I like the mature women, I’d love to find a lady of 45-60yo age range.
I’d love to find a gentle long haired lady who is bisexual,openminded and lives in a swimming pool house near the sea (as I like to swim) .
I seek a lady without young or old children,a no smoker lady who could be widowed,separated,single ,divorced.
With this I’m not saying that I want a millionaires,if there’s one that’s ok but I just seek a rich woman and I
think that she would be happy with me but I would need a sugarmamma figure at the beginning .
Here in Italy I don’t have a good future because there’s the
recession,the down swing causated by our new money,the euro and
also causated by our government that is not able to give a higher
salary to the people:
now our salaries value the half and the prices of the things are
almost the double.Here in Italy my life is in danger because is getting
always more difficult to survive as there’s no job for me here.
Considering that I’m around 30 yo now and I haven’t found nothing good to do in this country,now
I seek a better future abroad and I would love to find a good woman.
Considering that I know that In usa there are more opportunities for me,
I’m here because I’m looking for a soulmate- sugarmamma in USA to have a dolce vita with her.
I seek a woman that figures out of the years,looks young and feels young :
it’s not a problem if she’s not beautiful because she should be beautiful inside and most of all ,she should desire a younger soulmate.(She could be overweight too)
The thing I desire is to fix a serious stable relationship with a lady who gives me the opportunity to have a better life.
ABOUT ME:
I have long black hair,my weight is 65 kilos(145 lbs) and my height is about 1.80 metres(5.11)…
I’m no smoker /drinker and I’m good looking.
If you could be the kind of woman I’m looking for, write me soon please!!
I’m here because I need help and I’m not a joke because it wouldn’t have sense.
Thank you very much for reading my letter .
I think there must be a woman for me out there.
Cheers
Paolo Serri-Italy
