"Okay, now go to the StartMenu and select Run"

"You know, the menu in the bottom left that says 'Start'"
"I don't have one of those"

"It got in the way, so I deleted it"
"Then how do you get to your programs?"
"You mean my porn?"

"I don't know, that's why I was calling you"
"Do you have an icon called 'My computer' on your desktop"

"Do you have a desktop?"
"Yes, I have my laptop on it right now"
"No, on your computer."
"Why would I put my desktop ontop of my computer"

"Oh... I don't think I have one of those."
"Why not?"
"I figured if I got rid of this thing you call the 'desktop,' then I'd have more room for porn."
