Scene, a small retail shop, one guy working the counter, a person enters the shop, he has a thick middle eastern accent....................

Person says: Do you weark alone
Counter guy: No, there's other guys in the back.
Person says: ? Do you weark alone?
Counter guy: No I told you, there's other guys in the back.
Person says: ? But I am asking YOU Do you weark alone?
Counter guy: there's other guys in the back, and I am about ready to go get a couple of them out here!
Person says: (while opening his sample case) O.K. ask them if they want to buy some cologne

True story.

I've got better. I work in a computers and this South American (maybe from Brazil or something) guy starts asking me questions about firewalls. He's paranoid because he has sensitive information on his computer that could get him arrested/killed and he doesn't want hackers to break into his computer. It was one of the most interesting conversations I've had in a long time...

And you set him up with a firewall with a backdoor for you, right? ;)

Actually, he had a router with a firewall and a software firewall and the Windows XP firewall enabled. I told him if he was that paranoid that he should turn his computer off at night when he went to sleep...
