Clients From Hell : The Forbidden Fruit:

Client: Hey, just one final question before I send the deposit. Do you use a PC or a MAC?

Me: I use a MAC.

Client: That is a problem. Do you have access to a PC? I am not a supporter of Apple products.

Me: No, I don’t have access to a PC, but this will have little to no effect on the work itself.

Client: I am a Christian and Apple products are sinful, I do not want our website to be created by a product made by this corrupt group. You need only look at their logo, an apple with a bite taken from it. Do you not know the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? If I allowed you to create my website on a MAC I would be just like Adam, taking a bite of the forbidden fruit.

[Silence]

“Take my advise, destroy your mac and repent for when judgement day comes. It shall be you who is cast to hell for your sins.”

For LO, in those days did life become ever more complex, even unto the wise. And the unwise, nay even the utterly stupid, were perplexed. And they did annoy, pester, and otherwise interfere with the good works of the wise, as well the competent, and likewise even the nonstupid. And the LORD, seeing this, was exceeding wroth. And Behold, He did confuse the stupid in the degrees of their stupidity, for even as they wrought, so shall they reap. And thus were the words of the very books of wisdom perverted beyond all belief. But the stupid, being stupid, did endure, and continue in their errors, causing much tribulation in the land, even unto the weeping and gnashing of teeth of the wise.

For it is known that all apples, being traditionally the fruit of the tree of knowledge, are anathema unto the stupid. And thus the prophet did declare unto the multitude of the most stupid that they must
"bite the big one". Amen.,
