IT intern gets an assignment from hardware tech: Replace this PC's motherboard. But after a while, pilot fish a few cubicles away begins to get worried.
"I could hear various noises coming from her cube: grunts, straining noises and finally hammering," fish says.

He wanders over to see what's going on. Is everything OK? he asks intern.

"I can't get this @#$%! CPU to seat!" intern says.

Did you pull the lever up on the socket? fish asks.

"What lever?" asks intern.

Which explains the hammering noise, fish explains. "Sixty percent of the CPU's pins were bent at a 45% angle," he says. "A few were bent flat with the bottom of the CPU. It took 45 minutes with a penknife and magnifying glasses to straighten the pins back to their correct position so they would go into the socket.

"Surprising enough, the PC eventually came back to life without replacing the CPU.

"But the intern swore that she would never do any more odd jobs for the hardware technician."
