Computer Hackers Infiltrated My Dsl Filter
While working the customer service desk at Staples, a white-haired gentleman came up with a DSL filter and asked if we sold them. We did, and I told him where they were located. Then he asked me if I knew anything about them.
Me: "Well, there really isn't a whole lot to it. What did you want to know?"
Customer: "Well, here's the thing. I'm dealing with some computer hackers, and they've managed to blow this thing, so I need something stronger."
Me: "Um, I don't think that's the problem."
Customer: "You know, there must be a huge amount of benefit and enjoyment in this whole hacking thing if they go to such lengths. If I don't get something stronger they'll just blow the next one."
Me: "Well, a DSL filter is a DSL filter. They don't really come in strengths. What you're saying really isn't possible."
Customer: "They did it!"
Me: "Sir, it is physically impossible to destroy computer hardware remotely via hacking. Something else must have happened if the filter blew."
Customer: "Well, you can go ahead and believe that if you want to."
