Ages ago in a previous life, a sysop I knew put "Press ctrl-alt-del to continue" on one of the sign-up screens to his BBS. He used to count the number of carrier drops it took a person to successfully log-in. I waver between laughing at people who fall for that stuff, and thinking "well, maybe it's okay that they don't understand that particular underlying technology". Columbine reports a new favorite:
Effective immediately, any customers who do not rewind their DVDs
will be charged a $20 fee.

After my wife and I watched our first ever DVD (The
Wedding Singer, FWIW), I pushed the Stop button and
ejected the DVD.
My wife looked at me and said -- "Wow, that rewound fast!"
I looked at her a little funny, and we both laughed about it.
She'll never be off the hook for that one. ;-)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
