Tha MonkeyClan of the Angry Monkey (FFXI)
Funny Joke from Ecaroh
Submitted by Darkkit on Sat, 08/11/2007 - 16:15.

This has to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think
this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story
from the WordPerfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording
monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help
Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the
WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause."

> > Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
> > Caller: "I can't."
> > Operator: "No? Why not??"
