Mouse Balls

[AMD-USR_JL]

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.

It was a serious memo... until those last two lines.

BTW... hope this joke doesn't scare away our most recent forum member...

Hahahaha
Good one!
Problem is... I'm missing my spare pair of balls. Damn it! My mouse has no balls! :cry:
Hehe :D

I de-balled my mouses a long time ago... The mouse balls were not operating to my expectation. Upon close examination, the balls were constantly dirty and sticky. Now my mice have optical balls and they work better than the normal balls. :D

Man... you castrated your mice? That's cruel! :P

[Beerknurd]

HAHA..... I just re-read this thread!!!

Yeah and my mouse got its tail removed when it got castrated. Now it feels its way around using wifi.
