IF A RESTAURANT FUNCTIONED LIKE MICROSOFT

Patron: “Waiter!”
Waiter: “Hi, my name is Bill and I'm your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?”
Patron: “There's a fly in my soup!”
Waiter: “Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.”
Patron: “No, it's still there.”
Waiter: “Maybe it's the way you're using the soup. Try eating it with a fork.”
Patron: “Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.”
Waiter: “Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl. What kind of bowl are you using?”
Patron: “A SOUP bowl!”
Waiter: “Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem. How was the bowl set up?”
Patron: “You brought it to me on a saucer. What has that to do with the fly in my soup?!”
Waiter: “Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?”
Patron: “I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!”
Waiter: “Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?”
Patron: “You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??”
Waiter: “Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.”
Patron: “Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?”
Waiter: “The current Soup of the Day is tomato.”
Patron: “Fine. Bring me the tomato soup and the check. I'm running late now.”
The waiter left and returned with another bowl of soup and the check:
Waiter: “Here you are, Sir, the soup and your check.”
Patron: “But this is potato soup.”
Waiter: “Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.”
Patron: “Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.”
The waiter left.
Patron: “Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!”

The check:
Soup of the Day ……… .........……… $5.00
Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day…. $2.50
