Customer: "So, is there a spray I can buy for my computer?"

Tech Support: "Er, I beg your pardon?"

Customer: "You know, a spray -- one that I can spray the inside of my computer with."

Tech Support: "What sort of spray are we talking about here?"

I thought perhaps he had seen someone use a can of compressed air to clean out a machine and mistook it for some sort of spray.

Customer: "Well, I was hoping that there would be a spray that would kill all the viruses."

Tech Support: "Aaaah...ummm...you mean like a bug spray? For computer viruses?"

Customer: "Yes! Would that help?"

Tech Support: "I'm really very sorry, but nobody makes anything like that. Computer viruses are just a name we give to malicious software. We use the word 'virus' because it explains how the software behaves."

Customer: "So...no spray then."

Tech Support: "No."
