Eons ago, I had a guy bring me a non functioning Compaq desktop and say, "Wull the fan was makin' a lotta racket so I greased it."

What he actually meant was, "I sprayed the entire motherboard with WD-40 because I don't know shit about computers OR lubricants."

I gave it a bath in electronics cleaner and it actually fired right up after that.
