My favorite was always the (potential) customers who would call up
and ask "Can I get the Internet in my house?" -- I would always
answer "That depends, how big is your house?", but they NEVER got
it.......

Sounds like our typical customer service calls.
Them: "Is the Internet down?"
Us: "Yes, someone will turn it back on soon."

At one of my old jobs, my boss honestly believed that we had
a 'switch'
that turned the entire internet off or on. When she was
having problems accessing her shopping sites, she'd storm in
the office and say something like 'did you guys turn the the
internet off again?' <sigh>
Yah, I would have customers call and ask me to "reboot the Internet,
its down again"...
Ok, let the customer support anecdotes flow...

Then again, this is the same person that tried to tell me
that 768 OC-192s are carried on a single DS1..

This definitely falls into the "Just Doesn't Get It" category.
