The Tale of the Mouse, Part 3 (DYSWIDT?)

[mrslant]

So I went to the Apple Store.

I approached the Genius Bar, clutching my mouse wrapped in a plastic bag. The conversation went as follows:

MacGenius: Is it a mouse?
Me: Yes.
MacGenius: Scroll ball?
Me: Yes...
MacGenius: *reaches into drawer*
MacGenius: *produces can of WD40*
MacGenius: *squirts WD40 into mouse*
Mouse: *works*

So there you are. Wouldn't have occurred to me to mix liquids and electronics in this way, but apparently This Is Okay. So I'll know what to do if it happens again.

WD40: permission to look smug.

Now you can bitch to Apple Support that they didn't suggest this on their help line ;-)

Indeed!

"Hmmm, what is that enchanting perfume?"
"WD40"
"I knew it! That's what I use to oil my neck joints too!"

Good ole WD40!
