M$ Soup de Jour



If Restaurants Functioned Like Microsoft: 
Patron: Waiter! 
Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your
Support. What seems to be the problem? 
Patron: There's a fly in my soup! 
Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this
time. 
Patron: No, it's still there. 
Waiter: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup.
 Try eating it with a fork instead. 
Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still
 there. 
Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the
bowl. What kind of bowl are you using? 
Patron: A SOUP bowl! 
Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a
configuration problem. How was the bowl set
up? 
Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer. What
has that to do with the fly in my soup?! 
Waiter: Can you remember everything you did
before you noticed the fly in your soup? 
Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the
Day! 
Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the
latest Soup of the Day? 
Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day
each day?? 
Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed
every hour. 
Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now? 
Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato. 
Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the
check. I'm running late now. 
[waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of
soup and the check] 
Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your
check. 
Patron: This is potato soup. 
Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet. 
Patron: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything. 
[waiter leaves.]
