Default Gambling 'Problem'

This happened a LONG time ago. Let's just say before it was popular to put software on CDROMs. Pre-internet days I believe. Back when not everyone had a computer, but people who had them usually knew how to use them. Usually.

We were selling a bunch of cheap software and one of the titles was of a slot machine. An older lady came up to me with the package.

<Old Lady> Excuse me... can you tell me how to use this?
<me> I haven't played that one, but I think you just hit a button (to 'pull' the slot lever. I even mimed pressing a button and pulling the lever)
<OL> No... how do you PLAY it.
<me> er... well, you just stick the disk in and type RUN (I forget exactly, this was LONG ago)
<OL> Oh... *pause* *looks at disk* *pause* *looks at me* So... what do you win?

OMG! I think she actually thought you could WIN something by playing a floppy of a slot machine! I wanted to say "quarters will pop out your floppy drive" but this happened back when I wasn's such a smartass.
