This is a true story and I don't know how they wrote this with a straight

MOUSE BALLS & MOUSE BALL INSPECTOR


This was a memo supposedly sent out by IBM to its employees in all 
seriousness. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral 
problem. The engineers rolled on the floor! Especially note the last couple 
of sentences.


'If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a 
ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement 
Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, a 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 person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining 
optimum customer satisfaction.

Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge 
of removing and replacing these necessary items.


Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an 
unhappy customer.
