My buddy works for Ameritech in Chicago in the DSL sutomer support department. A lady once called and said her phone and internet were not working becuase there was a deer on the power lines. They thought she was nuts but after another call came in stating the same thing, they sent out a tech. sure enough, a train hit the deer launching it up into the powerlines.
He also said every now and then a customer thinks the mouse is a foot pedal
