Dude! You’re getting a Dell (pubes)

One can only assume that this is a hoax but nonetheless, a support call to Dell results in disaster and disgust. In the process of diagnosing a faulty power adapter the Dell Tech has “Reader K” plug the suspect adapter into a working laptop – resulting in catastrophic failure of said laptop. Quick to fix the problem, Dell did replace the second laptop due to the technicians error, but that’s when things got a little more hairy.

About a week later, I get my “new” Dell laptop. I open the case, and the instruction manual is bent out of shape, and I start to worry. I reach the bottom of the box, pull out the laptop, and first thing I see is the top is covered in scratches. Some people may say that I should be happy since I was getting a newer model laptop to replace an old laptop with no warranty. My old laptop, however, was in great condition. When I opened up the new laptop, I saw the screen was scratched and dirty, and the keyboard was covered in debris. Wait, not debris….what is that? HAIRS!? Not just any hairs – these could only be described as pubes. I hate to be so crude, but pubes are pubes. Not the incidental curly hair, but rather mini-tufts between the keys. My only guess is that Ron Jeremy was the previous owner.
