Back in the day, (early to mid 1980's) when I was writing programs and running IBM Mid-Range Computers, the IBM employee who came in to repair your computer was called a "Field Service Engineer". They would routinely get memos and service announcements from their higher-ups about patches on current systems, as well as new techniques and services that were just being introduced.
The following memo issued by IBM Field Service Engineer Management IS REAL ! This was not intended to be a joke, but rather an announcement about a new process. I doubt that the authoring manager took the time to go back and read his memo and see that it was quite funny.
Here is the Memo:
Never mind, now that I have re-read it, not sure it's even appropriate for this forum. You can google it yourself "IBM Field Service - Mouse Balls" . But, I do remember seeing it first hand as a hard copy. My Field Service Engineer showed it to me, and, we had quite a laugh.
