This afternoon was gobbled up by doing a parts swap on Cisco MDS 9710 FAB1. One of those hugely expensive enterprise fiber switches for fiber SAN's. Replacing the one of the fabric modules. Where the real work gets done. After pulling the assembly out I notice the below in the box. While I'm not a major conspiracy nut I certainly don't trust any of those nations who are "against" us. But this makes you wonder. I long ago lost count of parts boxes I've opened but they all usually had notices in English and Spanish. Sometimes French, This notice has Russian on it. A shipped part is core part of the MDS. A device used to handle Enterprise data management. Of a major US pharma company. Conspiring minds, at least one mind, want to know....

Typical Cisco for sure. Let me look around at work for you because my employer buys a LOT of Cisco stuff...

Found this...

This must be hundreds of them... I did NOT count!

Oh, oh... What's inside?

Looks like each of those envelopes is $939 and 8% tax... for essentially absolutely NOTHING but instructions to go on the Internet.

A farmer had three daughters, all young and very pretty. He guarded them with a shotgun.

Friday night came and he heard a knock at the door. The farmer answered with his gun. A young man in suit and tie stood there with flowers.

The farmer exclaimed “What do you want boy?"

The young man replied “ Hi, I'm Eddie, I'm here for Betty, we're going out for spaghetti, is she ready?"

The farmer laughed and said" You are a clever young man!"

Eddie replied” We rhyme. all the time!".

"Well come in, Betty will be ready to go soon."

A second knock at the door. The farmer again answers with his gun. Another well dressed man stood there with flowers.

The farmer exclaimed, “Young man what do you want? “

The young man sheepishly answered " Hello, my name is Joe I'm here for Flo, I would like to take her to a show, may she go?

The farmer laughed and said" you are a clever young man."

Joe said” We rhyme. all the time!"

"Come on in Flo will be ready to go real soon!"

A third knock at the door. The farmer again answers with his gun. Another well dressed man stood there with flowers. The farmer exclaimed, “Young man what do you want? “

The young man said“Hi my name's Chuck. “

The farmer shot him.

Hi, my name’s Chuck, I’m here for Buck, we’re going to feed the ducks! (Okay, I know that is not what it means)
