Probably true, but difficult to tell because nobody invites me to
parties any more. I probably wouldn't go because I usually spend the

Tell them to make an appointment and quote your service charge and
hourly rate.

I made some engraved ID badges with "I Hate Computers". I usually
wear one at ham radio meetings and events, where avoiding such
questions are an obvious problem.

I also have a jacket with "No, I will not fix your computer" on the
back. If I should ever accidentally be invited to a party, I'll be
sure to wear these and let you know what happened.


My MD brother responds to medical questions at social events
with, "Sure, undress and I'll examine you now."
