My nephew sent me this. I believe it speaks for itself:
But how do they get their legs apart???
:eek: That’s all well and good when you’re in work and have trained experts at your side within sec.'s but I use a laptop with a rollerball at home.
I’m not trained and now worried about the damage I may cause to my ball.
I’ve got a girl mouse, no balls. I like it much better than the boy mouse I used to have…man I used to hate cleaning it’s balls.

Isn’t this what we American men have always been famous for?
Which brings us to the eternal question:
Q: Why do mice have such small balls?
A: Lousy dancers, I guess.
Must not say it, must not say it.
Temptation growing. Must fight it.
In a not entirely unrelated way, I always refer to these laptop-mid-keyboard-mousepointer-move-thingies as the “clitorus”.
Yeah, I know. I’m a hoot alright.
I just picked up my mouse and lifted its tail. It’s a girl (I think)! LMAO…
From personal experience, I have found that my mouse does not ever need new balls, I just need to get in there and clean off the crud around that area so his ball can roll around freely
My mouse is definitely a girl. Her nether’s are even lit up! (I swear, that optical thingy sort of looks like a vagina!)
I just looked at my mouse… I really need to clean his ball. It’s kind of sticky looking. I guess it’s true then… excessive handling may result in sudden discharge.
Ahhh yes, the old Mouse Balls memo. I know it well, it has a bit of an amusing history.
The unnamed company is IBM. The original version of the joke, was styled exactly like IBM’s internal memos of the 1980’s. Also, the memos debut was on IBM’s internal email system/newgroups in their joke forum, and was traded around IBM so much, that they actually created a rule that it was specifically not allowed to be posted anymore.
Is everything from the 80’s doomed to be passed around again? Can we skip disco and herpes this time, please?
my mouse has a brass one
fwiw, I doubt the author was serious about that memo…just another email chain letter
Why would you replace a mouse ball anyway? A good scrubbing in ordinary washing up liquid is all mine have ever needed, they come up like new. (I’ve two by the way. Mice that is.)
We used to have some civilian contractors in our shop when I was at Cannon AFB. Their computer had a huge trackball. It was just the perfect size. Sometimes, when no-one was looking, someone would hide their regular trackball and replace it with the 8-ball fron the pool table in the break area. It worked just fine.

Ah, mine must be a bionic mouse, or perhaps it’s Borg? maybe it’s just plain optical.
But it aint female, and it aint got balls.
And be wary of turning it upside down, it’ll shoot your eye out with it’s laser! :o
I had a thread a few months ago about playing with mouse balls. It didn’t get this many responses though.
