A few years ago, my former boss was supposed to get a file on his desktop from the computer tech guy. He couldn't find it and he calls me from his office and asks me to call Joel to find out what is going on. The conversation went like this:
"Hi Joel, it's Jackie. Bob <not his real name> can't find the file you left for him. Did you do it yet?"
Joel - "Yes, I did it last night".
Me - "Ok, let me go into Bob's office and I'll put you on hold".
I walk into Bob's office and there he is shuffling through papers that are on the TOP of his DESK.
Bob didn't see me peeking my head into his office. I walked away and got back on the phone with Joel.
Me - "Joel, you are not going to believe this but Bob is trying to find the file on the top of his desk, not on the desktop of his computer!"
Joe - "Are you serious?"
Me - "Uh-huh"
At this point, Joel and I are hysterial laughing. Once we calmed down, I put Joel on hold and walked into Bob's office.
Me - "Bob, Joel is on the phone for you".
Bob - "It's about freaking time!" And puts the speakerphone on. "Joel, I can't find the file you left me on my desk!"
Joel - "That's because it's on your desktop on your computer".
Bob - "What do you mean?"
Joel - "Do you see all the cute little icons on your computer?"
Bob - "Yes, and what does that have to do with the file you left on my desk?"
Joel - "The area that has the icons, is called a desktop. That is where I left the file."
Bob - "So, I guess I've been looking in the wrong place?"
Joel - "What in the world made you think I could place a file on the top of your desk 30 miles away?"
At this point, I started laughing so hard, I was crying. Then Joel let's loose.
Bob then asked me "why did I let it go this far?"
"Well, because I couldn't freaking resist!" "At least you can laugh at yourself."
