Ha, when I was in the military we used that to screw with the new data guys, we would go and tell them to install that USB printer on that Windows NT machine over there... and then watch about 80% of them try for about 30 minutes to get it to work.

Off topic, but it reminds me of when I worked for facilities at an MLB stadium. We used to tell the newbies to go find the key to the batter's box. About 80% spent an hour or more trying to find it. Hilarious.
