Backstory: I want to buy some connectivity from someone who has a cabinet proximate to mine in a colocation facility. The floors are made of raised tiles, so you can run cables and other things underneath them…
<Myke> Did you run that cross-connect cable to my cabinet yet?
<Uplink> No, I can’t find the floor-tile lifter.
<Myke> You don’t have you’re own? You know they keep them locked up…
<Uplink> Oh, they do? That’s annoying.
<Myke> I do know one way to solve the problem easily enough…
<Uplink> Really? What’s that?
<Myke> Well, the lifter tool is just a pair of suction cups, right?
<Uplink> Right
<Myke> Why do you need two? You don’t. One would suffice.
<Myke> So where can you get a big suction-cap?
<Uplink> Uhm, where?
<Myke> Just go to the nearest janitor’s cart – surely he’ll have a plunger–
<Uplink> Oh God
<Myke> — Just make sure it’s clean
<Uplink> EW!!!
<Myke> You don’t want to be leaving little s**t-rings everywhere
<Uplink> UHG. THAT’S DISGUSTING
<Myke> But Effective!
