Leading them along is soo cruel.. but great fun :)
When they asked me to click on start / control panel I said "but I dont have a
start button or a control panel" 
After a bit more dialogue I said "oh you're assuming I'm using windows???" 

"No I'm a linux user, but thanks for the chat you hoaxer, click!"
