Snappy comebacks

Mark, over at spudlets put together a short list of snappy comebacks , defined as:

Often, when a poor client in distress calls, they will typically start with, “I know you’re real busy, but …” As a service for helpdesk geeks like me, I have listed the snappy comebacks you wish you could give but don’t for fear of job loss:
