A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her
printer.

The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his
printer is working fine."

And last but not least...

Tech support: "Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the
same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now

Tech support: On your keyboard, Bob.

Remember hearing a story whereby a techie could remotely control PC's. User rang up with an issue so techie says

T: Would you mind if I come on your screen
U: Well if you think it would help.

I fell about laughing, bet he never said that again.
