Everyone Cam: There must be a law

There must be a law

That I'm not aware of requiring something to go wrong just when you're having a good day. It never fails. Ever.

The bad news phone call was made worse by the guy on the other end of it. Let me program it for you.

10 print "There is a problem"
20 print "Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it."
30 print "Blah blah blah blah blah"
40 goto 20

For all you non-programmer types, here is the output:

There is a problem
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Send a workorder, I'll take a look at it.
Blah blah blah blah blah

forever...

So been there!

Ahh...the customer infinite loop. Why can't there be a real life ctrl-c method to deal with them? You know, like shoving your fist into their face or something to that degree....
