>Caller:       "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
>Tech Rep:    "Yes, it is.  How may I help you?"
>Caller:       "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my
>               warranty period.  How do I go about getting that
>               fixed?"
>Tech Rep:     "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"
>Caller:       "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
>Tech Rep:     "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped,
>              it's because I am.   Did you receive this as part of a
>              promotional, at a trade  show?  How did you get this
>              cup holder? Does it have any  trademark on it?"
>  Caller:     "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about
>              a promotional.  It just has '4X' on it."
>
>  At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he
>  couldn't
>stand  it.  The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM
>drive as a cup  holder, and snapped it off the drive.
