Cordless & Clueless

(As the systems builder in my office, I send out a brand new laptop to a coworker who lives in a remote location. I get a call from that coworker.)

Coworker: “So, I finally got around to opening the laptop you sent me. I tried to turn it on, and the battery was dead. I think the laptop needs to be replaced. Why did you send me a bad laptop?”

Me: “Did you plug in the power cord?”

Coworker: “It has a battery. Why would I need to do that?!”
