Huh?

One of my coworkers sent a note to a local ISP inquiring about T1 availability. The response came from the "DSL Manager" and is as follows:
Hello,

I'm just repling to the email I received about the DSL request/check and that we don't offer T-1 at this time and not sure when we would but we can do the /30 just not the t-1 we do have DSL speeds though if you wanted to use one of our DSL speeds we can go up to 7.1M/768k.
Clippy would have had a stroke.

Tiny Bubbles Bottoms

I work from home which generally is great. Sometimes the kids are a little rambunctious when I'm on the phone, but I can stop that by flinging the office door open and scowling at everyone while simultaneously pointing at the phone in my hand. Works every time. For about a minute.

The other day I was on a call with Microsoft support trying to assist a client of mine when the following transpired:

My Daughter: MOM!

My Wife: (in the distance) WHAT!

My Daughter: DO I HAVE A TINY LITTLE BOTTOM?

My Wife: NO! YOUR BOTTOM IS JUST THE RIGHT SIZE!

Nice.
