cry havoc

I did have that sort of conversation, when my iMac died in the fall.

Apple Guy: It looks like your hard drive is dead. If it's not even coming up with that install disk, there's not much we can do at this point.

Me: *wailing* But the PORN! All the PORN I've downloaded!

Apple Guy: *makes spitting-coughing sounds*

Me: *sadly* This sucks.

Apple Guy: *makes muffled-coughing sounds*

Me: *suspicious* Are you laughing?

Apple Guy: Uhm. *clears throat* Uhm. Sorry.

Me: It's okay. *sigh* I guess I can kind of see the humor in it. But still, that was a lot of porn, and really good porn, too.

Apple Guy: *starts laughing again*

Me: This conversation is being recorded, isn't it.

Apple Guy: Ah, yes ma'am *muffled coughing* it is.

Me: Figures.
