"Thank you for your patience, I understand your frustration and I will be happy to help you to resolve this issue. Huh? No, sir, I'm not from the Philippines. No, sir. Equestria. E-Q-U-E... yes. Thank you, I think your accent is very good too.

"Now, sir, are you at your computer? Good. Now please click on Start, then type 'CMD'. C as in Celestia, M as in Mare, D as in Donkey. Right. Now right click on that little black icon, and select "Run as administrator..." Yes, a black box popped up. Now I need you to type the following: "chkdsk c: /f". That's C as in Celestia, H as in Harmony... No, no spaces in between, sir.

"But you know, I bet you use that spacebar a lot, don't you? I bet you're using your thumbs to press it. Your supple, opposable thumbs, just tapping on that spacebar, over and over... I think that you can use those thumbs to touch your other fingers, am I correct, sir? Good. Could you try that for me now, please, and just tell me what fingers you're touching? And how it feels when you rub the pad of your thumb against the tip of your forefinger? You can feel the little ridges rubbing together, can't you? It must feel so good... Flexible... Dextrous...

"Oh? Yes? Sorry, I'm still here. That noise was... a fan in the background, going around in circles. Like your thumb on your middle finger, perhaps?

"...Very well, sir, I am escalating your ticket to support tier 3. Thank you for calling, and I hope that I have provided you with outstanding service. If you would please fill out a brief survey, that will be very helpful..."
