Pig Latin

One of my favorite tricks with particularly vexsome users is to set their google to Swedish Chef and then, when they call to complain, inform them that it's probably nothing and then mention- and lackadasically as possible- a more pressing threat. For example...

EU#01: Uhh, hi, angryjonny?
Captain Awesome: Hi hi hi, my little droogie! What can I do for you today?
EU#01: There's something wrong with the internet?
Captain Awesome: The *whole* internet? Holy crap, I've got to call slashdot before it's too late!
EU#01: Well, no. It's just Google.
Captain Awesome: Ok, that's different. What's going on?
EU#01: Everything seems screwy. Like all the words are gibberish and I can't understand them
Captain Awesome: Ah, probably nothing that a reboot can't handle. Close all IE windows, delete cookies, and restart your system. Really, it's nothing to be concerned about. Anyway, I'll hang on the phone with you while you reboot.
EU#01: Ok, I'll do that now. (25 minutes later) and I'm done. Just rebooting now. (25 further minutes later) What do

Why thank you!

There have been days where I have been dangerously close to making this hypothetical conversation a reality for some of my... favorite... users.
