Reminds me of one that happened at a company I used to work for. A customer
was having difficulties installing some software, so we asked them to send 
us copies of the floppy disks. A couple of days later a letter arrives with
a set of photocopied disks. The funny thing was, a brief examination of the 
disk labels indicated that we had sent them software for the wrong version 
of the OS, so the problem was resolved using the photocopies !
