Support: Hello, and thank you for calling the Psychic Friends
Computer Support Network! How can I help you?
slack here, being psychic only goes so far.
Customer: Okay, but this had better be worth the $2.95 a minute!
Support: Your computer problem?
Customer: My monitor won't come on. I just hooked up this new
computer, and I heard Windows boot up, but I never saw anything on the
screen.
Support: This one's easy. You haven't plugged the monitor's power
cable in yet.
Customer: No, I've already checked all the cables, so it's got to be
something else.
Support: Come on, who are you kidding? You haven't checked the
power cable at all, have you?
Customer: Yes I have!
Support: You're lying, just like you lied to your wife about those
panties she found in your briefcase.
Customer: You! How could . . . No!
Support: You lied and said they were yours. That you liked the way
they felt! If you don't check that cable right this minute, I'm
going to call your wife and tell her who was missing a pair of purple
panties after the office Christmas party!
Customer: No, don't! You can't! I'll check, I'll check, just
please don't tell my wife! (LONG PAUSE) Uh, well, you were right, it
was the cable after all. I could have sworn it was plugged in. I
wouldn't lie to you, you've got to believe me!
Support: Of course, of course. Say no more. Thank you for calling
the Psychic Friends Computer Support Network, please stay on the line
and one of our operators will speak to you about our blackmail
payment plan.
