You know, as nice and polite and patient as I try to be with senior citizens there are just *some* calls I cannot get over. For example

Me: Okay, so you are unable to view a website?
SC: No, I can view it but its not the right one
*insert 10 minutes of trying to find the address bar*
Me: Okay, now lets type in www.*insertisphere*.net
SC: Okay double u double double u.. what's next?
Me: *insertisphere* dot net
SC: isp.. what?
Me: dot net!!!
SC: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that
Me: *knife to heart*

-- Or the classics --

Me: *insert long ass greeting here*
SC: Hello "dave" (for some reason my phone handle sounds a lot like the name "Dave" to everyone) - I want to tell you that I dont know much about this here intarnet and can't seem to get a website I want
Me: I understand, as long as we can both follow directions we'll be fine - which website are you trying to reach?
SC: the home shopping network
Me: Okay, do you know the web address to it?
SC: whats that now?
Me: do you know what the Internet address is for that company?
SC: Look here "dave", all I want to do is get to the HSN
Me: Okay, what are you typing to get there?
SC: Nothing
*brain cells boil*
