IDIOTS AT WORK
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the
clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the
credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the
transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she
explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the
credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt.
So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully
compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt.
As luck would have it, they matched.

IDIOTS IN MANAGEMENT
At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who
is leaving the company due to "downsizing" our manager spoke up
and said, "This is fun. We should have lunch like this more
often." Not another word was spoken. We just looked at each
other like deer staring into the headlights of an approaching truck.

NOTE: I don't know how anyone could write this with a straight face!
This was an actual memo sent at an unnamed computer company to its
employees. It went to all the company's field engineers, and it was
in regard to a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo
wasquite serious; the engineers rolled on the floor! (Especially note
the last sentence!)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING MOUSE BALLS
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 thisprocedure, 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 each replacer 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.
