Do you still have your receipt?

(Phone rings)
"Computers, may I help you?"
"I hope so, my monitor has stopped working."
OK, is it plugged into the wall?"
"Yes, it is."
"Is it connected to the computer?"
"Yes, it was working just a little while ago."
"OK, when it stopped working did anything special happen?"
"Ummm, yes, the lights went off."
"....OK...the lights went off and your monitor quit working?"
"Right, what could be wrong?"
"Do you still have the receipt from the store where you bought your computer?"
"Yes, I do.  Do you think there's something wrong with my computer?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with your computer."
"Well, what should I do?"
"I want you to box up that computer and take it back to the store where you bought it."
"Uh-huh, what should I tell them?"
"Nothing, just get your money back, because you're too damn stupid to own a computer!!"
