Person of Greatly Higher Rank Than Me: "I need a new docking station."
Me: "Yes, -rank-, what's the problem?"
PoGHRTM: "My internet's slow."
Me: *headdesk* "Web sites are loading slowly? We are having trouble reaching the outside world right now, ." (We're in Iraq...)
PoGHRTM: "Someone told me that was caused by the docking station."
Me: "No, -rank-, I can assure you that it's not."
PoGHRTM: "Ok, Thanks. Out here."

Sigh.......
