Right. I once tried to explain my ability with computers as akin to:
1. Something happens.
2. I boggle at the stupidity of computers.
3. I tentatively prod around the edges of what I know how to do in an attempt to identify what something has just happened.
4. I fail to do 3 in any effective manner.
5. While I am trying to work this out, the computer in question has somehow produced marshmallow unicorns which dance upon rainbows, and now proceeds to unleash them into the world.
6. I alert the media.
7. Sadly, by the time the media arrive the unicorns are gone and my computer is once again (miraculously) working properly.
This cycle is why no one believes me anymore when I cry marshmallow unicorns.
