Humorous Joke: Sending a Fax

User: "I just bought one of your computers. Don't you say that we can send faxes with the computer? I've been trying for almost an hour, but I still can't send it."

Engineer: "Is your modem connected properly and turned on?"

User: "Modem? What's a modem? Oh, do you mean the modem (the device)? Yes, it’s connected and turned on."

Engineer: "Well, can you use it to dial a phone number? Does the modem make any noise?"

User: "Yes, it makes noise! I can even hear the squeaky sound when the fax machine connects!"

Engineer: "Alright, is your document ready?"

User: "Of course, it's ready."

Engineer: "Did you press the 'send' button?"

User: "Yes. Isn't all this written in the manual? I followed every step exactly as described in the instructions."

Engineer: "It should work then; there shouldn’t be any more problems... Hmm... Ah, could it be that your file format is incorrect?"

User: "File format? Isn't a file just something written on paper?"

Engineer: "On paper? Can you tell me again what steps you took?"

User: "First, I placed the document I wanted to send right in front of the screen, then I dialed the number using the modem. After hearing the connection tone, I pressed the 'send' button. By the way, sending faxes with a computer seems quite troublesome. The document blocks the entire screen, so I have to stand up to see what's on the screen... "
