Quite a while ago when the IBM Executive was still being sold new I got a service call to an office. Weirdly when I got there I was told to see the office manager in his private office. Went in and he showed me the problem machine. Seems in order to avoid getting caught by the cleaning crew after everyone else left for the day a certain young lady and the supervisor stuffed her bra , which the two had removed for after work games, into the closest hiddee hole available. Which was the opening in the top of the IBM typewriter. Of course the interior of the typewriter had all sorts of links and levers that the bra snap/straps got tangled on. Why they chose the typewriter instead of a desk drawer who knows. But there I was in his office removing the bra from the typewriter while he made sure the blinds were closed and no one entered until I got it out and he could put it into his brief case. Funniest part was when I left his office I knew immediately which young lady was the owner of the bra. She saw me leaving the office and turned about the brightest shade of red a woman could. Best part was I knew to never ever say which office it happened in and never revealed the two parties.
Oh yes I also wrote the repair ticket as a simple machine jammed by foreign object
For now I have not had these beautiful experiences like yours.
The only strange thing was when I opened the door of a printer and I asked myself: What is electronics doing in this dust?
There was so much dust that I almost had to replace the vacuum cleaner bowl.
I went to a call years ago for the adf jamming. Once I removed the round of ammo from the paper path, it worked fine.

I'm glad you were able to disarm that dangerous doc feeder.

It was pretty funny because keepingbtrack of live ammo is a big deal with the military. There was a half circle of guys standing around me when I turned with the bullet in my tongs and ask "Who wants to claim this?" They all took 1 step back and their mouths dropped open. I tossed it to one of them and said that I was sure they would give it to the Sargent Major. I then reminded them that they could not make more ammo using the copier.
