Re: I replaced a network cable.
I remember reading an entry in the Tales of Tech Support newsletter several decades ago. I may be a bit off on the details - apologies for that - but here it is to the best of my recollection:
It's about this guy who gets called out to a remote farm in the US Rust Belt on a Friday afternoon - a customer's computer was stone dead. After a two-hour drive one-way on bumpy country roads he arrives at the farm house in a pissy mood, and understandably so. Sensing this may be a simple fix, he decides not to take his tools with him as he walks into the house. The customer shows him the computer and he notices that, indeed, the power plug is hanging half-way out of the socket.
He walks up to the computer, puts his palms on the monitor and booms "In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, I compel you to HEAL" as he kicks the plug with his foot, out of view of the customer. The computer springs to life, and the customers drops to the floor.
Anon, because it's not mine.
