If Microsoft Was In The Restaurant Business

 Patron: Waiter!
 Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support
 Waiter. 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.)
 Patron: Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!

 Soup of the Day $5.00
