I like this one, at work we use a ball of blue tack.

If you have to change a light bulb where the glass is broken, you can press a potato into the metal base to unscrew the remains of the bulb from the fixture.

Blondes huh  

Technical Support

When helping someone fix their computer over the phone, and you want them to see if all the cables are plugged in correctly, don?t ask, ?Have you checked to see if the cable is plugged in?? because the customer will always say, ?Of course I did, do you think I?m a moron?? Instead say, ?Remove the cable, blow the dust out of the connector, and plug it back in.? The customer will most likely reply, ?Hey, it?s working now?I guess that dust really builds up in there!?
