The ties that bind mice...

A friend of mine, lets call him "Guy" calles me up for tech help, today.

Turns out whenever his screensaver went on, it lasted just a few seconds and stopped. On top of that he could see the mouse cursor moving very very slowly across his screen the moment it ended.

When he bought his machine he signed up for tech support, and those mental midgets told him to reformat his hard drive! Thinking about that self-moving cursor I asked him if the mouse cord was hanging over the table and dragging the mouse, he replied:

"Yes, I just removed the tape holding it to the table, why?"

Saved him a complete re-installation.
