My favorite:

Customer: That trick you showed me?  It didn't work.
Me: What ~did~ it do?
Customer: Nothing.
Me: Oh, come on, it did something.  You got an error message, right?  What did 
it say?
Customer: Oh, it said some damn thing.

This was a regular customer; we'd had this conversation before, and he was 
laughing at himself as he said it.  But he still said it.

Customer: it blew up.
Us: what was the error message?
Customer: I don't know, something about an error occurred.
Us: Please send us the listing.
Customer: Oh, we already purged the output. When are you going to have a fix 
for us?
