Hi All:

Here are some giggle to start your weekend :)

Giggles,

This apparently was a real memo sent at a computer company to its employees in all seriousness.

This memo is from an unnamed computer company. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the floor.


"Mouse Balls"

Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units).

Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced by the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse can be used immediately.

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction.

Any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items.

    The Insomniacs strike AGAIN!!!!
    Ya know, I've been accused of having 'spare balls' all of my life...every proper computer consultant SHOULD....hummmmmmmm!
    Thanks for the laugh....I'm sure there would be someone (not here, of course) among the computer support community that would say, "So, I don't see the joke..." (makes it even funnier...)
    Hugs, kathi

    That was nice of Finner to wish Team USA luck in the World Cup, but I suspect that after Wednesday's game with the Czech Republic, we will need to forward a Wednesday funny to them!

    Ying - your posts are a breath of fresh air! Thanks for sharing!

    I'm a little bit, no more than a little bit frightened, of the "twist-off" method for the domestic product!

    Hey Ying!!!!
    I love your Friday posts. I look forward to reading them because they get me going for the weekend!!! Being a teacher, I have been through the mouse ball situation with my students. Once our computer teacher told the the kids to stop stealing mouse balls."I would like to find out who is stealing the balls from the computer lab." Of course the kids laughed hysterically!! Terri
