Call to technical support:

Caller: Hi, our printer is not working.
Customer Service: What is wrong with it?
Caller: Mouse is jammed.
Customer Service: Mouse? And how it is related to printer?
Caller: Mmmm.. Wait, I will send a picture


Now take a look at the attached file and tell me it didn't make you laugh

well, a lot of application manuals tell you something like "click with the mouse on the printer to print".
Someone's bound to take that literally
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I remember getting that picture emailed to me, and enjoyed it immensly. The printer was probably nice and warm so the mouse tryed to make a nest inside it...

Here in the English countryside, we get insects known as 'thrips' during harvesting time. The things are tiny, 1mm or so, little black specs.

Trouble is they are so small that they get everywhere, including inside the LCD screens of our laptops, and desktops for that matter. Damn annoying when you don't suffer from dead pixels bu live ones instead, that wander all over the darn screen.

They die quickly enough, but then it depends where they die and where they stick...

I had never heard of them until I left the confines of Sarf Lunnon (South London for the uninitiated) for South Yorkshire.

Now I wish I had never heard of them.

The things are also called harvest bugs by some, and wrongly thunderbugs by others.
