Hello? I say.
Who is this? they say
It's me I think I say, having been through a telephone skills course
Me Who?
Is this like a knock knock joke? I say, trying anything to save myself
having to end this game.
Too LATE! I get killed.
Now I'm pissed!
What can I do for you? I ask pleasantly - (one of the key warning signs)
Um, I want to know if we have a particular software package..
Which package is that?
Uh, B-A-S-I-C it's called.

Um no, we don't have that. We used to though..
oh. Oh well, the other thing I wanted to know was, could the contents of
my account be copied to tape to I have a permanent copy of them to save at
home in case the worst happens..
The worst?
Well, like they get deleted or something...
DELETED! Oh, don't worry about that, we have backups (I'm such a *shit*)
What was your username?
He gives me his lusername. (What an idiot)

But you haven't got any files in your account! I say, mock surprise leaping From my vocal chords.
Yes I have, you must be looking in the wrong place!
So first he spoils my x-tank game, and now he's calling me a liar...

Oh no, I made a mistake I say
Did he mutter "typical" under his breath? Oh dear, oh dear..
I MEANT TO SAY: That username doesn't exist
Huh? It must do, I was only using it this morning!
Ah well, that'll be the problem, there was a virus in our system this
morning, the... uh... De Vinci Virus, wipes out users who are logged in
when it goes off.
That can't be right, my girlfriend was logged in, and I'm in her account now!
Which one was that?"
He tells me the username. Some people NEVER learn..
Oh, yeah, her account was just after we discovered the virus.

..she only lost all her files
But...
But don't worry, we've got them all on tape
Oh, thank goodness!!!
Paper tape. Have you got a magnifying glass and a pencil. SEE YOU IN THE
MACHINE ROOM!!!! NYAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm such a prick!
