Some of the most amusing and glaringly stupid questions I have ever encounted in no particular order..
"Is google automated?" - Err, not unless there's a magic pixie that can read, search and sort data really quickly and comes with an rj45 port!
A few other classics from the less aware amongst us.
"Why does my google browser have a blue 'e' icon?" - Hmm, go hit yourself... hard..
"What's a fat lady singing got to do with my website?" - Dont talk to me again... ever.
"Mozilla, is that a movie about a dinosaur?" - Excuse me a moment; before talking to you on your level I need to get a lobotomy.
"I like chocolate, can my cookie be chocolate chip?" - Hmm, I'm afraid something has come up and I can no longer do your website. Please Leave...

The Never Ending Brief..
Jargon comes with the job, but at times even a seasoned pro can be dumbfounded by certain peoples talent for converting a simple list of requests into a sprawling mess of prose and postulation.
Today I received the best example of this kind of bs yet. This brief (bearing in mind that briefs, like the name suggests should be, well, brief) covered an entire A4 sheet and contained a paltry 5 points of information.
Everything else was surplus to requirements... Bullet points were made for a reason!!

The E in Email
When I got assigned to a recent internal project I was quite excited at first. A chance at working on something advertising not a client but the agency iteself, wow, "that's going to be even higher quality" I thought. I realised my mistake within hours.
After 3 weeks of hell I had learned the worst possible client is the company you work for. And of course the worst person working for that client is the account handler. Suffice to say 100 million copy changes later the suggestion that part of the terms and conditions for this flash game should be that an internet connection is required to play the game.
An Online Flash Game.
With an Email Distribution Medium.
The wonder that is the brain of the account handler never ceases to amaze me.
