Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Today was a stressful day, apparently, for a certain employee at a certain university who happens to have complete control over a certain peon's life. Said fellow was attempting to send an email to a student (who he was talking with 5 minutes prior), when his "E" key got stuck on his keyboard, leaving an ever-growing string of "e's" on the screen. Exasperated and unwilling to back down in the face of eeeeeeelectronic adversity, he did what any sane person would do: He grabbed his knife and neatly, quickly chopped off the keyboard cable in one swing, stopping the cursor in its tracks.45 seconds later he entered the lab, swinging the offending decapitated peripheral above his head saying "This keyboard is broken, give me a new one," before taking one from under the fingertips of some poor schmuck in the stockroom.
Then he kept it and had us return a dirty old one in its place.
We learn a lot in grad school.
(Oh, and ethanol does a great job of cleaning filth off of a nasty keyboard)
