Found at an English web page on moggies (cats).
Mouse Balls
- - - I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face. This apparently was a real memo sent at a computer company to its employees in all seriousness. This memo is from an unnamed computer company. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the floor! (Especially note last sentence!)- - -Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit.) Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement.
Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel. Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls.
Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacture of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist-off method.
Mouse balls are not usually static-sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.
Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.
It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction.
Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

It reminds me once when a customer in our store asked me if we carried moth balls. I told her no, but she could find some if she got a moth & pulled his legs open. She just stood there for a second & stared at me with a blank expression, then started laughing. I guess it wasn't something she expected a store employee to say.

We don't use a regular mouse but have an optical one instead, so no balls. Does that mean our mouse has been neutered, or was it a eunach to begin with?

Nope, no comments meant on your priorities. It hit me as funny that an optical mouse has no balls. Just my strange & unexplained sense of humour emerging again. My self-esteem is good enough though, that even if I'm not that funny (to others), I still entertain myself. Reminds me of one of my sons, when he was little, used to tickle himself under the arms & giggle. (And they say we can't tickle ourselves.)
