Hey Guys,

Bit of an odd one for you today. I had a message from come through on eBay asking a silly question (I supply stuff for the Raspberry Pi, btw) and it went a little soe this:

Troll said:
[FONT=arial,sans-serif]Have you got one in strawberry flavour?[/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif]
[/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif]


[/FONT]To which I gave a silly reply:

[/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif]We're fresh out of strawberries, but might be able to source a gooseberry.[/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif]
It might go quite nicely with a dragonfruit though.
[/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif]
[/FONT][FONT=arial,sans-serif]
Thanks.

Now he's come back with this gem!

[/FONT]Would a gooseberry flavoured one still work under water? I need an operational working depth of around three fathoms?

Thanks in advance

Now I'm sure its just a bit of fun and nothing at all malicious (I also find it quite funny!), but what should you do in situations like this one? Do you do the sensible thing and just ignore them or do you have a little fun yourself and send an equally troll-like response?

Does anyone else here get these or is it just me? :P
