"Ancient Tech Support"

The following is a true story. Really!!!

The tech support problem dates back to long before the industrial revolution, when primitive tribesmen beat out a rhythm on drums to communicate:

"This fire help. Me Groog."

"Me Lorto. Help. Fire not work."

"You have flint and stone?"

"Ugh."

"You hit them together?"

"Ugh."

"What happen?"

"Fire not work"

"(sigh) Make spark?"

"No spark, no fire, me confused. Fire work yesterday."

"*sigh* You change rock?"

"I change nothing."

"You sure?"

"Me make one change. Stone hot so me soak in stream so stone not burn Lorto hand. Small change, shouldn't keep Lorto from make fire."

Grabs club and goes to Lorto's cave*

*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*

Lucky Groog. I think anyone who's an MLG (Major League Geek) has a Lorto or 20 in their customer list.

Sadly; Lorto's kind is still amongst us today and they are called PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER.. wink

Though I wonder why Groog didn't ask if Lorto had backed up his fire shocked oh, wait it's files, not fire.
