Well, I mean, I have to make the customer at least understand the concept. They don't care about the nitty-gritty details 😉 -
@RiderExMachina Imagine the bag has holes in it, and that all the chips fell through and were lost. Imagine the one special chip that you need to eat before all others is missing, or has bad sectors.

Imagine you had a packet of chips that was delicious and you were quite content with them. Then imagine a seagull took a giant shit in that packet of chips. Your chips are ruined. You need to find that seagull and introduce it to payback (shit on it, I don't care) - and then need to find another packet of chips.
Reason for this being that if you just put more chips into that bag, yeah some of the chips will be alright - but you're still going to hit that shitty chip.
Best to get a new bag of chips, and start a fresh (and stay away from shitting seagulls).

True story? Idk, just made me laugh
Every IT admin's wish
Customer: So I have operating system corruption? What does that mean?
Me: *thinks for a moment* Okay, so you have a bag of potato chips, right? And you're looking forward to eating those potato chips. However, when you open the bag, there are only crumbs because the guy in front of you in line had accidentally stepped on the bag and crushed them all.
Customer: ...Okay...
Me: So what we can do is we can grab a can of Pringles--because Pringles are delicious--and dump those in the bag. That way you have a good, full bag of uncrushed digital potato chips.
Customer: I like that, let's do it!
Coworker: ...why are you talking about digital potato chips?
