Funny Only To A Geek
I have heard and seen many funny situations in my IT career but today was the best one I have heard in a long time. A person referred to the asterisk key on their keyboard as "The Snowflake Key". LMAO doesn't do the 20 minutes of laughing I did justice.
Wow! So, to continue with the theme my IT colleague and I thought maybe we should start renaming several of the keys. Here are some of what I thought were the funniest ones.

"The Snowflake Key" |
 |
"The Hungry Alligator Key" |
 |
"The Scarecrows Hat Key" |
 |
"The Twig and Berries Key" |
Also, let's not forget one of the best Homer Simpson computer keyboard quotes …
"To start, press any key." Where's the "any" key?! I see Kuh-tor-ull, Esc, and Pig-Up, but I don't see the "Any" key! woah, all this computer hacking is making me thirsty, I think I'll order a tab. (Presses tab key) Ooh, too late for that now, the computers starting!"
hahahaha, that is some great stuff.
That's one of the funniest things I've read all week… awesome!
Wow. It is amazing to be the computer illiteracy of some. I actually know someone who constantly calls the tilde "the ocean key" believe it or not.
On note of the Any key, I'd like to point out this comic as well: http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20030128&mode=classic&cbst=1079331
"THE OCEAN KEY" LOL We can add that to the list!
Ok, I work in technical support also… we had a funny one yesterday. A woman wrote in and asked, no joke, this is word for word:
Subject: @ where is it?
Question / Problem:

everyone in the building had a laugh out of that one!
Haha, I had this one woman who couldn't remember her password, I reset it to a very easy 123456 and she wanted to know if the numbers must be typed in upper case or should she use lower case…
Oh WOW! That is funny!
