Mac radiation

[Blue]

A co-worker's Macbook Pro was running slow and making random clicking sounds. She asked me to take a look at it, and as soon as I heard the clicking (obviously coming from her dying hard drive), I stepped away from the laptop with a wary expression.

"Whoa, that is not good!!" I say.
"What? What's not good?"
"Uh... Thats' you're internal geiger counter. You've got a leak."
"A leak?" she asks.
I stare in mock disbelief at the laptop "I've never heard one that active before.."
"What are you talking about?"
"Your Mac's uranium-ion battery is leaking radiation."
"What?! Are you serious?"
"Dead serious" I say with a grave expression, stepping further away from her desk. "This clicking started with just the occasional click, and continued to get worse and worse right?"
"Uh, yea" she says, now looking a little white, stepping back with me.
"Yep. It's your geiger registering the rads from your battery. At least you caught it early, after a couple hours it could have done you some damage." I lie, unable to hide the curl in my smile.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you're lucky you didn't just leave it running like this. You could have been given cancer by the end of the day." I pick up my cell, pretend to dial a number and ask a co-worker:
"Hey dave, we have any lead-lined laptop bags left? I've got a really hot one here... Yep, the iGeiger is screaming mayday. Probably one of the older batteries..." Meanwhile the poor lady starts to visibly tremble.
"What is it? You look pale." I ask, ending the call.
"Uhm.... its... it's been clicking like this for weeks. I think."
I step away from her, wiping my hands on my pants. "Oh god, you've probably been contaminated by Mac radiation."
The lady starts to cuss at this point, saying she's going to sue Apple, when finally another co-worker hiding at the door starts busting out laughing.



- Lesson of the day. Don't ask the programmer for IT help.
