I remember when I was an intern at a large telco company, and an older woman who was VP of something or other called me into her office to answer some questions about what parts we needed based on supplies I had just inventoried.

I told her one, and she didn't recognize the part number, so she said she'd look at the distributor's website. I watched her go to google.com, type in the url, and then I "helpfully" interrupted to explain that the address bar was where urls went, and that google was for searching for other things. She proceeded to click the "view cached version" in the google results, and told me that distributor's website was down and this was her workaround.

I learned a lot from that job. Including when to keep my mouth shut!
