Thank you! I must have been in a "mood". When I saw the "God, I feel dirty
now" comment, I couldn't resist. My response was somewhat inspired by a
cartoon ("Shoe") that I read once that told a user that, to fix a problem,
he had to sacrifice a goat on his keyboard at the new moon :-)
As you might guess, the technician and vacuum cleaner incident actually
happened - and in my presence - although not quite as stated. The prayers
all came after the chief engineer began to tear the technician a "new one".
No, I wasn't the technician... and it could have been worse - at first the
technician was going to use "factory" air - air with oil in it! That would
have been splendiferous! The real "incident" was MUCH funnier than I told it
here! My eyes are watering now, just remembering it. Innocence lost...
