My aunt asked why her wireless router wasn't working. I went to check it out, and she had the cable modem plugged directly into the laptop and nothing but the power plugged into the wireless router. I explained to her that she needed to plug the modem into the wireless router and she responded, "So now I am going to have to carry around that stupid box everywhere I go?"

My dad asked me to go with him to buy a new cell phone. While we were in the store, I was explaining to him all of the new features you can get on a phone. I said, "This has the basic stuff, like when someone calls you, their picture appears on the screen, so you can see who is calling you." Hhe responded, "What if they are in the bathtub when they call?"
