I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face. 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 are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit).
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 using 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 may 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.
That's too funny not to be true. LOL
ROTFL!
If you think about it, they were talking about removing the ball from a computer mouse. You know the thing that you click with?
um, lol blindvi. i believe that was very obvious!
i'm not sure i agree with you though becky. amusing as it was, i don't actually believe it was ever really a genuine memo. it reminds me of an email that i've recieved on a few different occasions purporting to be a letter that was sent by a customer to her bank manager that the bank manager liked so much that he had it published in a news paper.
the only trouble is that according to the emails that i've read, this woman is aged between 77 and 93 and holds bank accounts in at least 7 separate locations spanning 3 continents around the globe.
The letter is extremely entertaining, it's very cleverly worded and written and over all is highly plausible in it's own way. it's just that i've seen this email in so many different incarnations at this stage i know it has to be just an internet myth. sadly i suspect that the above, supposedly genuine memo, is probably the same. something that a very bored, anally retentive tech head with an overly active imagination has come up with ... but you never know
it's classic, and blindvi i can't believe you don't find it funny!
lmao too funny
lmao, that's a classic!
