My own mouse not working one: - Use to fix PCs professionally in the early 90s. - Guy comes in with PC. Right-mouse button stopped working. - Replace mouse. Still not working. - Play with Windows 3.1 drivers. Nothing helps. - Pull HDD from another PC, install, boot. Mouse button still broken. WTF. - Pull whole mobo, put another spare mobo in, with replacement HDD and replacement mouse. Still don't work. - Replace PSU. Right-button works. - Give up on computers, live in wilderness, eat squirrels.

I used to know an older woman who did trap and eat squirrels as her main source of protein, so... this isn't entirely unlikely.

What was her trap like?
