When rockets are outlawed, only outlaws will have rockets.
You can have my rocket when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

No no no...you need to make the users absolutely dread calling you for things.
My favorite is the user who forgets their password. New employees are encouraged to call me to "have their password reset." Usually, just setting it to "forgot," and then having them hear a light chuckle seems to be enough around here.
Another favorite is the user who needs the status changed on orders in our internal order processing system:
*ring*
"Hello?"
"I need a bunch of orders reset to 'newly entered'! The printer messed up while printing them, and I have to reprint them immediately!"
*sigh*
"Were these orders entered manually, or did they come in over EDI?" I ask, concern for the user oozing from every pore.
"Uh, manually entered, I think..."
"Okay, one moment please..."
clickety clickety clackety click
"Does 316 orders sound about right?" I ask, still with the Voice of Concern.
"Yes!" blurts the user. "Yes, that's it!"
"One moment please while I cancel your orders so you can re-key them..."
clickety...clickety...
User on the phone "What! Nnnnooooo!"
"Thanks for calling!"
Problem solved. Sometimes, I just love my job. HR could never fully explain a perk like this...:-)
Hmm...If they get Ford to play the part... Indiana Jones and the Boudless Supply of Wrinkle Cream

...maybe. But then someone'll figure out how to use these fuel cells on a Segway, then you'll see them going 60mph, and going about 700 miles. Look out! Here comes Granny!

I wonder if MS would change their minds as someone (or something) would have to cull those entries as "false positivies."
Not to mention any potential problem they have with backfiring cars...
I find that the "woop-woop...woop-woop...woop-woop" in "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" when played at a decent volume works pretty well, too.
'course this method usually results in my ears hurting... (shrug)

My boss wants the lizard, so I don't get sacked.
Just about any open mirror will make my day

Should I quit my day job and become a poet???
In your last paragraph, you say:
Pray should be preyI smell eBay! Whathca wanna bet that $30 cheepo 8X CD Rom you have sitting in your closet will become a $300 high-demand classic?
And for those planning on writing their CongressCritters, actually write and snail mail them.
And, if yer one of the lucky sots (like me) in the fine state of California, the illustrious Senator Feinstein is a co-sponsor of the bill.
*sigh*...That letter's gonna go far...
