Field Circus blew all the boards in the backplane when he removed
the memory - seems that he forgot to turn off the power!!
My favorite is a Field
Circus CE arrives at site and while walking
through the room he picks a likely cab to lay his stuff on. Then
proceeds to ask where is this HSC thingie. Rumor has it the
manager of the site was seen escorting the CE out the door
with great vigor.

I had to read it 5 times before I realized that the "cab" and the
"HSC thingie" were the same. Subtle. Very good. I had a
much better laugh as a result. More at myself, of course.
