This is a classic:
-Matt, hi, it’s Rob. I wanted to give you an update on the power point projector that we loaned out. We haven’t used it yet, and there is a reason. Um - before, we were going to use it for a client presentation, we had a supplier come in and borrow it to present some of his own things to us - and the stink in the room was so bad, we thought it was the guy. Today we tried the power point LCD projector again and it is the projector. Matt, I don’t know what it is, but the ventilation of this projector is blowing out a stink like BO like you would not believe. We can’t even sit in same room with it. So I just wanted to give you a heads up. I don’t know what is wrong with it, but I can’t see anyone being able to use it for a presentation. You might want to look into maybe cleaning the filter or something on that thing. That was it, thanks, bye."
This is a real voice mail I received a couple of years ago when I was an IT Manager for a media buying company.
