One of the guys at work here was just dealing with a woman at a client site called Ping (that's her name).

He connected remotely to her PC to troubleshoot her problem, opened a command prompt and typed: ping xxxxxxxxx

Before he could hit enter she typed (wait for it - I'm still crying): "yes?"

Ahh IT.

I could see what was going to happen as soon as you mentioned the client site. Who would name any business "Ping" if they are going to use the internet? :laugh:

Hmm... case of where you put the inflection... seems to me that the woman was called Ping, not the business.

I know about the "ping" command, but I don't get the joke.

No, don't explain it - that would render it even less funny. :mellow:

Just had my most exciting moment of the month - I went for a cup of tea, and saw the receptionist standing in the doorway of one of our meeting rooms, talking to some people inside. I walked down the corridor and gave her a gentle poke in the side with my forefinger. She leapt into the air and into the room, letting out an ear-splitting shriek, then burst into nervous and embarrassed laughter. :laugh:

Crikey.
