    SORRY! I take that crown....I get shocked by plants, plastic bags, wood.....anything that doesnt conduct, I get shocked by it...trust me, getting shocked by a plant is just wrong I take five steps, and I have built up enough charge to shock someone. Must be my huge thighs rubbing together lol

    But Oh so true!

    Man takes PC into PC World because it won't boot up. Real problem is that the OS has got screwed up and Windows needs reinstalling. Instead PC world convince him that the motherboard, harddrive and ram need to be replaced. Nice profit for them, plus they then have the old working components from the system to repair the next idiot who walks through the door!

    Another great place for PC repairs is Currys. A guy I worked with, who had very limited computer knowledge, was given a PC from his son because he had upgraded. He had trouble getting it to work so for some strange and unfathomable reason he took it to Currys for them to look at. The conclusion, and these are the words they used, the "tower" is faulty and needs replacing, so he accepted this and bought a new one! So basically his son gave him a compete second-hand PC, and Currys then convinced him to buy a whole new PC, so all he actually was still using was the mouse, keyboard and monitor his son gave him. I don't think he ever did realise the "tower" was actually the whole computer. Mad!

    So many gullible people out there. Why can't I ever meet them!

    My dad was almost elctrocuted (tricuted - however you spell it...) when he was working at a sewerage plant. He was subcontracted out for a week to this place and was in the main fuse room measuring a wall opposite the fuse gear. Anyhoos, hes got his metal tape measure up the wall and it kinks in the middle and falls over his shoulder straight into the fuses, which some idiot had left cover caps off. The tape had a black burn up it 2.5m from its end where the electricity had went prior to the fuses blowing - he could actually measure how close he came to dieing!

    That is quite mad, to be able to actually measure your distance from death!

    He now knows how LONG he has to live!
