So many variations.  I heard that it was a Microsoft rep who
said "Let's get out of the car, shut it off, close all the
doors, then get back in and all will be perfect."

I always heard this as the IBM Hardware guy, IBM software guy, and the
IBM sales guy driving to a trade show when they get a flat tire.

The software guy says, "Let's wait and see if it clears up by itself."

The hardware guy says, "No, we need to keep swapping the tires around
until we find the band one."

The sales guys says, "I can't imagine you guys are this stupid. We have
to buy a new car!"
