You think some people aren't that clueless?  Once a year I work in our
State Fair, the loos the general public use rapidly become a disgusting
mess, whereas the ones in the middle of the cattle yard are virtually
spotless.

No, my job isn't cleaning them, mine is a video services job in one of
the arenas.  But visiting one of the most popular rooms in the show is
an unavoidable necessity.

I tell people that analogy to try and put forth the idea how much I
don't want to fix their computer.
