German police are investigating after an angry man returned a computer he had just bought saying it was packed with small potatoes instead of computer parts.

The store replaced the computer free of charge but became suspicious when he returned a short time later with another potato-filled computer casing, police in the western city of Kaiserslautern said on Monday. ``The second time he said he didn't need a computer any more and asked for his money back in cash,'' a police spokesman said. Police are now investigating the man for fraud.

I'm guessing, but those computers were made in either Idaho or Ireland.

Maybe its one of these new enviornment safe computers that runs on potatoes?

Wouldn't you think of something better to put in than potatoes? Cmon even a rat or a couple fingers would be better.

Potatoes?

Hmm that's a weird one...if I came home with a comuter box full of potatoes I'd say "Eep, well I don't have a computer, but I sure do have dinner!"

It slices! *crowd gasps*

It dices! *crowd gasps again*

It has Windows XP! *crowd sighs and groans*

Now you can make dinner while playing you're favorite video game and not have to get up to get it!!

Wouldn't that be awsome? You put in a potatoe some other veggies, and after awhile of whirling and stuff it dings and out pops dinner.

A call to tech support (thick Bangalore local accent cleaned up for clarity

)

Support: Hello, my name is Zachary, may I help you sir?

Customer: My computer stopped working.

Support: Could you explain the problem in more detail sir?

Customer: I was just playing a game, and I got a BSOD. I tried rebooting, but the BSOD keeps coming back.

Support: What game were you playing sir?

Customer: Sterculius, God of Feces III.

Support: Ooooh...I see. SGF3 has known Windows issues. Are you using XP?

Customer: Yes.

Support: What model computer are you using?

Customer: Its the Russet 2600.

Support: Are you near your computer now?

Customer: Yes.

Support: Could you try rebooting again?

Long pause

Support: Hello?

Customer: I tried it again, and nothing changed.

Support: Could you tell me what the BSOD says?

Customer: It says "Bow to your new masters, puny doughlike nerds!"

(Rustling of pages on support side of conversation. He is obiviously searching for the correct canned response)

Support: This looks bad sir.

Customer: What is it?

Support: I'll be blunt here. You have Boll Weevils.

Customer: What?

Support: Boll Weevils. They are insects. How long ago did you purchase this computer?

Customer: I got it Tuesday (call was made on Friday).

Support: You need to return your machine to the store, and exchange it right away.

Customer: I'm practically out the door now. Thank you.

Support: Glad I could help. Please come again, come again.

(call ends)
