LOL That reminds me of a cartoon that used to hang in the stores room where my father works.
Setting: Viewer looking from inside a store room over the shoulder of the stores man, who's standing at a counter in front of a computer. Wall's lined with numerous mechanical part's, one clearly standing out from the rest. Man resting his head in the crook of his left arm, right arm pointing at the clearly visible part, with smoke & fumes rising over his head. Tag line: "I'm sorry, but the computer shows that we don't have any in stock" Still makes me laugh.
