So our infrastructure manager gets yet another call from some "IT 
experts" company insisting that they could save us money.

Caller: *business chortle* Hi there! We could save you money.
Him: Oh really?
Caller: Certainly! Do you mind if I ask, what do you actually do?
Him: OK. Well, you know winter?
Caller: *business chortle* Ah yes!
Him: Right, well you know how there's a lot of leaves around?
Caller: Sure do!
Him: OK, well you know there's that little grill between your car's 
windscreen and the bonnet?
Caller: Yeah?
Him: Well, my job is to go around all the cars and put the leaves into 
the grill each winter.
Caller: ...
Caller: [baffled] What??
Him: Yeah, you may have seen some of my work. Every winter I go and put 
the leaves into the cars.
Caller ..............
*click*

Apparently it actually took the guy several seconds to work out what the 
HELL was going on. Eventually he just gave up and left...

Gold.

As with all good humour, it's all about the comedic timing. He didn't 
just say "I put the leaves in the cars"; he fed the guy this ten-minute 
build-up and then delivered the devastating punch-line, leaving the guy 
stunned and confused. That's quality trolling, right there.
