LOL This one DID happen to me.
One day, I got a call from a frequent newsgroup user. He was complaining that he couldn't find one of his favorite news groups. I told him that the guy who administered the news server wasn't in and also explained about how the news comes into us from other feeds and it might have gotten lost, blah, blah, blah. After the explanation, he decided he wanted me to see if I could find it to rule out the possibility that something was wrong with his news reader. *sigh* .. figuring it was easier to humor him than try to explain, I asked him which one he was looking for. He replied, "alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.lesbian.shaved", *cough*! I thought the guy was kidding, but he was really serious and this was a real concern for him. So, trying to be ever helpful, I figured I would try to find something similar for him. Now keep in mind, I was the only one hearing his side of the conversation and no one was paying attention to my screen to see the names of the newsgroups I was scrolling through. I finally found one that I hoped would be close enough for him and said "Until I can talk to one of the engineers and find out if this is going to be a permanent thing, you might want to try alt.sex.pictures.lesbians.shaved." Immediately after I said that I saw the guy beside me cough and choke as his Pepsi dripped out of his nose. Ah, the good ol' days. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Phillips" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2003 10:37 AM Subject: Funny story > This didn't happen to me but I found it on the web. > > As you all know I do tech support for an ISP.
